Laser distance sensors

  Description Application Sensing range Accuracy Learn More
OGD precision sensor detects errors before poor-quality parts reach the customer
The sensor's pmd time-of-flight technology ensures consistent measurement in quality control tasks. It detects deviations in the position of tiny parts via distance measurement.
Error proofing 500 mm  4 mm
OMH high-accuracy laser sensor detects quality issues early in your production processes with resolution up to 0.01 mm
ifm's OMH laser sensor catches production quality issues before the product is packaged and shipped, reducing the overall cost of errors. The price vs. performance ration makes the OMH laser affordable and reliable to catch errors as early in the process as possible.
Error proofing 500 mm 3 mm
O1D pmd sensor for long-range object detection and distance measurement
The harsh effects of manufacturing conditions often preclude the use of optical sensors in error-proofing applications. The O1D time-of-flight sensor can be placed farther away in the application and still accurately locate a small part.
Long range part presence 10 m
  • 30 mm @ 2m range
  • 140 mm @ 10 m range
OID pmd time-of-flight technology ignores stray reflections from shiny targets
Independent of target color and reflectivity, the OID sensor in an industry standard 30 mm housing provides superior background suppression, making it ideal for conveying applications.

O5D pmd time-of-flight technology ignores stray reflections from shiny targets
Independent of target color and reflectivity, the O5D sensor provides superior background suppression, making it ideal for conveying applications.

Long ranges, precise light spots, various housing sizes

Photoelectric sensors have been a part of ifm’s portfolio since 1980. Over the years, our products have become smaller yet more powerful and precise. Versions are available with laser light sources when more precision is required.

For applications requiring distance measurement, explore options here.

Many of our photoelectric sensors are IO-Link enabled and setup is achieved in a few minutes using the moneo | configure software on a laptop or the moneo | blue app that runs on a mobile device.
