IFM Electronic GmbH OGP301 Photoelectric Sensor

Description:

The IFM OGP301 Photo Sensor is used in industrial automation systems for non-contact object detection and position sensing using retroreflective photoelectric technology. Commonly installed on conveyors, packaging machinery, assembly equipment, and material handling systems requiring reliable object detection at long sensing distances. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this sensor for replacement, retrofit, expansion, or repair of industrial sensing and automation systems. The OGP301 utilizes an M12 quick disconnect connection and supports sensing distances up to 18 meters with an appropriate reflector.

Applications:

The IFM OGP301 is commonly used in conveyor systems, pallet detection, packaging equipment, warehouse automation, and manufacturing lines where non-contact object detection and positioning are required. The retroreflective design allows both the sensor and reflector to be mounted on opposite sides of the sensing zone while providing reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
