With its high-resolution photoelectric sensing, the OMH sensor from ifm can detect tiny objects in standard mode with an accuracy in the micrometre range. It can be used for instance, to ensure precise arrangements and positioning of delicate components, such as those used in battery cell production.
The OMH photoelectric sensor measures distances in the μm range.
Additional speed and power modes mean that in fast conveyor belt applications, the sensor can achieve measuring frequencies of 1 200 Hz in speed mode, and in power mode, the OMH maintains micrometre precision even under challenging conditions, such as in PCB (printed circuit board) assembly. This is a differentiating feature, offering an advantage over standard distance sensors which often fail to detect such objects reliably.
With its compact and robust design and analogue output, the high-precision OMH can also be used in retrofit applications. IO-Link ensures easy parameter setting and data use in fully automated processes.
