OGP200 IFM Retro-Reflective Photoelectric Sensor M18 316L Stainless Steel IP67 Detection Unit

### Product Overview The IFM OGP200 is a high-performance retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation environments. Engineered with precision optics and robust construction, this sensor delivers consistent performance across diverse applications, from material handling to traffic management. Its non-contact sensing principle eliminates wear and tear, making it ideal for harsh operating conditions where direct contact is impractical{insert_element_0_}.

Core Features

• Retro-Reflective Technology: Utilizes a prismatic reflector (Ø 80 E20005) for detection ranges of 0.03 to 4 meters, ensuring versatile coverage for small and large objects alike14.
• Optical Design: 624nm red light source with integrated polarization filter, enabling stable detection of shiny or reflective surfaces while minimizing ambient light interference17.
• High-Speed Response: 1000Hz switching frequency supports fast-moving target detection in high-throughput automation lines14.
• Robust Construction: M18 x 1 threaded stainless steel (1.4404/316L) housing with PMMA lens, rated IP67 for dust and water resistance in demanding industrial settings47.
