O5P500 retro-reflective photoelectric sensor

The O5P500 is a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor from ifm’s Efector line. It emits a light beam and receives it back from a reflector, and switches when an object interrupts the beam. A polarising filter makes it reliable on shiny objects, since the reflector turns the polarisation and the sensor ignores direct reflections from the object. The housing is compact and rectangular, with a mounting through holes. Typical applications are detecting objects on conveyors, packaging lines, and in material handling. Range and output type should be checked with the maker, as those details were not confirmed.
