Small blind zone and ranges of up to 2.2m

ifm’s ultrasonic sensors in M18 design provide a particularly small blind zone and sensing ranges of up to 2.2 m which are usually only achieved by sensors of a considerably larger design. The sensors operate reliably even with heavy soiling and can be used in applications where photoelectric sensors reach their limits.

Key features:

• Type M18 as diffuse reflection sensor or retro-reflective sensor
• Very small blind zone
• Ranges up to 2.2 m
• The vibrating sound transducer reduces the deposit of dirt
• Digital or analogue measured value output
• Non-contact and continuous distance measurement

Added value thanks to IO-Link:

• Easy parameter setting
• Measured value transmission with millimetre precision
• Diagnostic possibilities:
  e.g. operating hours counter and echo quality
