The optional L-bracket makes it easy to align the optical axis for a directretrofit.

ifm introduces the new OISeries Photoelectric Sensorline for position sensing ina variety of industrialautomation applications.Simple to setup and easyto install, the new OISeries photoelectricsensors allow users to seta switchpoint quickly.

Replaces standard 30 mmphotoelectricsThe OI sensor can easilyreplace standard 30 mmmount photoelectrics. Thesensor’s durable, all-metalhousing makes it ideal forharsh industrial automa-tion applications.

Reliable optical performance independent of target color

The OI sensor isconstructed with a durable all-metalhousing. The housingis so mechanicallyrobust that a protec-tive bracket is notnecessary whichreduces total installcosts in both timeand material.

Multi-turn poten-tiometer technologyifm takes the guess workout of potentiometers.The OI's multi-turnpotentiometer lets youknow exactly the switch-point distance whichcorrelates to the numberon the display (e.g., #1 =100mm; #2 = 200mm,etc…). Unlike traditionalpotentiometers, the OI sensor provides anaccurate linear switch-point setting that isproportional to thenumber of turns.
