IFM O5 Series Color And Contrast Sensor

Technical Features

Mark and color sensors suitable for error-proofing and object detection.

Uses reliable RGB (Red, Green, Blue) technology to determine the ideal color to distinguish the target from the background.

High color and mark sensitivity and resolution.

Mark detection range 18 to 22 mm, color detection range 15 to 18 mm.

Automatic detection of PNP/NPN configuration, and uses “teach mode” setting to establish application parameters.
