Diffuse reflection sensor IFM OS5016

Diffuse reflection sensor IFM OS5016

📘 General Description

The OS5016 is a compact, rectangular photoelectric sensor from ifm’s EFECTOR 200 series. Designed for retro-reflective detection, it uses an infrared light beam that picks up returns from a prismatic reflector. Ideal for detecting objects up to a 10 m range when paired with the Ø 80 mm reflector (E20005)
