Model: OGP101 (OGP‑HPKG/US)
Brand: IFM Electronic
Type: M18 cylindrical retro‑reflective photoelectric sensor with polarization filter
The OGP101 is a compact, high‑performance retro‑reflective sensor designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation, material handling, and conveyor systems. It features a fixed setting for immediate operation, offering an excellent price‑to‑performance ratio as a cost‑effective alternative to metal‑cased sensors.
- Detection Principle: Retro‑reflective with integrated polarization filter (suppresses interference from shiny/mirrored surfaces)
- Light Source: Red light (645 nm), visible spot for easy alignment
- Sensing Range: 0.05 m … 2.5 m (with standard reflector E20005)
- Output: PNP, light‑ON (NO)
- Switching Frequency: Up to 1000 Hz for high‑speed applications
- Response Time: ≤ 1 ms
- Housing: M18 × 1 threaded cylindrical; ABS housing, PMMA lens
- Protection: IP67 (dust-tight, protected against temporary immersion); reverse polarity, short‑circuit, and overload protection
- Electrical Connection: M12 4‑pin connector
- Operating Voltage: 10 … 30 V DC
- Ambient Temperature: –25 °C … +60 °C
- LED Indicator: Yellow LED for clear switching status display
- Conveyor and material handling systems
- Packaging machinery (detection of transparent or glossy items)
- Assembly lines: part presence, counting, and positioning
- General automation: limit sensing, anti‑collision, and area monitoring
- Ready to use: Fixed setting eliminates adjustment; install and operate instantly
- Reliable on difficult surfaces: Polarization filter ensures stable detection of shiny, reflective, or transparent objects
- Fast and precise: High switching frequency and fast response support high‑speed production
- Robust construction: IP67 rating and industrial materials withstand harsh environments
- Cost‑effective: Affordable performance without compromising quality
