"Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend."
The Pepperl + Fuchs OBT500-18GM60-E5-V1 is a state-of-the-art diffuse mode sensor designed for precision detection in a variety of industrial applications. With a robust detection range of 0 to 500 mm and a standard white target size of 200 mm x 200 mm, this sensor ensures reliable performance in diverse operating conditions. It utilises an infrared light source with a wavelength of 880 nm, which is ideal for consistent object recognition.
This sensor is equipped with a dual-colour LED indicator that provides clear, immediate feedback on the device's operational status and switching state. The green LED signifies power on, while the yellow LED indicates the switch state. A flashing green light alerts users to the stability control feature, which is a testament to the sensor's intelligent design.
The OBT500-18GM60-E5-V1 operates on a supply voltage of 10 to 30 V DC and is classified as a class 2 device. It boasts a high switching frequency of 500 Hz and a rapid response time of just 1 ms, making it suitable for applications requiring fast and accurate detection. The sensor's output is a PNP signal, which is short-circuit protected, reverse polarity protected, and open collector.
Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, the sensor is encased in a strong, nickel-plated brass housing and features an IP67 degree of protection, ensuring it is dust-tight and resistant to water ingress. The sensor's optical face is made of durable PC, and the entire unit weighs a mere 45 g.
The OBT500-18GM60-E5-V1 is compliant with EN 60947-5-2 product standards and has received UL approval for its Type 1 enclosure. It also meets the requirements for CCC certification, indicating that it is not required for products rated at or below 36 V.
For ease of installation, the sensor comes with a 4-pin, M12 x 1 connector, making it a versatile choice for seamless integration into existing systems. Whether used in automated manufacturing, packaging, material handling, or other precision-based industrial applications, the Pepperl + Fuchs OBT500-18GM60-E5-V1 diffuse mode sensor is engineered to deliver reliable and efficient performance.
