M18-Cube: The space saving ifm housing

The magic formula of the M18 cube

Standard mounting + compact space saving = M18 Cube

Similarities among the cubes

Compact rectangular housing for limited space combined with standard M18 thread
High protection ratings and robust metal housing for harsh industrial environments
Quick and easy setting of switch points via IO-Link or via pushbuttons
Continuous visualisation of the distance value via IO-Link

Photoelectric sensor: For fast applications

Background suppression und high switching frequency of 1000Hz for a fast operation
Detection of light or dark objects on long distances

Ultrasonic sensor: For difficult surfaces

Sensing range up to 1,2 m independent of colour, transparency or object’s surface shine
Retro-reflective operation for orientation-independent object detection

PMD distance sensor: For precise detection

Innovative on-chip time-of-flight measurement system with PMD technology for a very precise measurement up to 1.5 m
Excellent reflection resistance, colour independence and background suppression for trouble-free and reliable operation

3 measuring principles offer suitable solutions for every application:

Object / Application		PMD distance sensor	Photoelectric sensor	Ultrasonic sensor
Shiny objects
Irregular objects
Objects with holes
Transparent objects
Transparent liquids
Transparent films
Large area one signal
Angle to target
Small targets
Different color targets
Level of irregular objects (seeds, potatoes)
Long range (>1m)
Dynamic application

Photoelectric sensor goes smart

The OG Cube starter kit offers the right solution for fast and far-reaching applications. The intelligent IO-Link sensors can be easily connected to the decentralized IO-Link master, which serves as a gateway to the controller and LR Device Parametrization software via the fieldbus.
