Baumer OADM 20164 406008B Photoelectric Distance Sensor

Baumer OADM 20I64/406008B Photoelectric Distance Sensor, also cataloged as CH-8501, is a compact laser-based distance sensor designed for short-range measurement and thickness detection in automated production lines. Belonging to Baumer’s OADM family, it uses a pulsed red laser diode to illuminate the target and deliver reliable distance measurements in industrial environments, with mounting and connection options including OxDM 20 mounting brackets and protective caps. Weighing approximately 0.23 kg, the OADM 20I64/406008B variant is documented as discontinued by the manufacturer, informing sourcing considerations for ongoing projects. Baumer’s official product pages for the OADM line provide data sheets and CAD resources that detail light source, measurement method, and integration options, while catalog listings confirm its short-range thickness measurement capability alongside general distance sensing tasks in packaging, material handling, and quality control contexts.
