Movement Sensors

The optical motion sensor OBS … was developed for the detection of advance and rotary movements in a wide range of materials with diameters of 1 mm or more.

The sensor is positioned at a distance of 30 mm above the surface awaiting detection of motion which is reliably detected at a speed of up to 1 m/sec. A stationary state, motion or the exceeding of typical motion speeds are signalled using a sensitivity setting and NC / NO function. Brief stationary states of up to one second, which arise during cyclic motion, are reliably suppressed using an adjustable pulse extension.

Highlights:

• For contactless feed control, also suitable at reduced speed and wires
• Detection of metallic, non-metallic and shiny surfaces, also at minimal speed
• Robust metal casing
• High protection class

Applications:

• Non-contact detection of approaching and departing elements up to 6 m
• Detection range and pulse streching adjustable
• Mounting behind non-metallic materials possible
• Switching outputs for detection of approximation and distance
• Protection class IP 67 for outdoor use
• Robust metal casing
