"FIRST TIME WORKING WITH MARVO. THEY HAD WHAT I NEEDED AND TOOK GREAT CARE OF ME AND GOT MY ORDER OUT IMMEDITELY. WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE SERVICE AND THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH. I WILL DEFINITELY WORK WITH THEM QGAIN IN THE FUTURE."
The Pepperl + Fuchs VDM28-8-L-IO/110/115B/122 is a state-of-the-art distance sensor designed for precise measurement tasks in a variety of industrial applications. This sensor utilises Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) to deliver accurate, clear, and reproducible results over a measurement range of 0.2 to 8 meters. It is particularly adept at handling minimal black-white differences, ensuring consistent performance across different surface colours and reflectivities.
Equipped with a red laser light source, the VDM28-8-L-IO/110/115B/122 operates within the 660 nm wavelength, providing a laser class 2 rating that balances performance with user safety. The laser's beam divergence is finely tuned to 1 mrad, which, along with a pulse length of 5 ns and a repetition rate of 250 kHz, contributes to the sensor's high precision.
The compact housing dimensions make this sensor one of the smallest in its class, allowing for easy integration into systems where space is at a premium. Despite its size, it does not compromise on functionality, featuring a push-pull output and an analog output for versatile connectivity options.
The sensor's interface is IO-Link compliant, offering simplified wiring and smart data management capabilities. This allows for easy integration into existing control systems and facilitates remote configuration and monitoring.
With an operating voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC, the VDM28-8-L-IO/110/115B/122 is flexible and adaptable to various power supplies. Its robust design is IP65 rated, signifying a high level of protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for challenging environments.
The VDM28-8-L-IO/110/115B/122 is a reliable choice for professionals seeking a high-performance distance sensor that combines accuracy, ease of use, and durability. Whether it's for automation, process control, or other precision-dependent applications, this sensor is engineered to meet the demands of modern industry.

Absolutely fantastic service. Rob was very helpful. Great communication. Requested part was shipped in no time.Konrad Eliaszuk
Found the component i was looking for ad a great price. Great support from the staff as I was paying using a wire transfer. - Quick delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Extremely Helpful. Shipped me a replacement unit next day and i was up and running within 24 hours. Replacement new from machinery manufacturers was on a 7 day lead time.Sean Conlin

After ordering an urgent part from Marvo i received a great level of customer service and Rob was very helpful.Claire Hinchliff
Excellent service partially from Mark who stayed late to ensure the part arrived with me same day as this was a critical part for me even though this was my first time using Marvo. I will defiantly be using again.Josh Holt
Thumbs up to Rob for helping out with an urgent requirement we had on a Friday afternoon. The part we wanted was over in Europe and Rob went out of his way to get it ordered and on site here for the following Tuesday.City Bearings

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.Chris Sentance
