The compact laser distance sensors of this series in a compact metal housing supply reflection-independent distance information. The sensor can be quickly commissioned through teach-in.

• 20 mm … 500 mm measurement range
• Robust metal housing
• Teachable analog and switching outputs
• Turnable M12 connector

High-tech at short distance

The ODS 9 optical distance sensors set standards in precision and ease of use. The sensor enables accurate measurements even under difficult conditions, e.g., with glossy objects. The integrated display shows the measurement values and facilitates easy adjustment of the sensor. The distance sensors reveal their enormous potential for precision when used in combination with digital interfaces.

• Measurement value display in millimeters on highly visible display
• Adjustment and configuration via a key pad
• Various operating modes (fast, standard, precision)
• Turnable M12 connector

Extremely tolerant distance sensor

The ODS 10 is an optical distance sensor that measures distance against a non-cooperating target and makes the information available as a measurement value. The maximum range of the device is 8,000 mm, whereby an accuracy of ± 15 mm is achieved. Against a reflector, operating ranges of up to 25,000 are achieved. The level of accuracy is almost fully independent of the material.

• Eye-safe laser class 1
• Reliable detection of dark, glossy and colored objects
• Recess for M4 bolts enables the installation of this device using just one tool
• No tools required for locking of nuts and screws
• Rotatable M12 connection, space-saving cable outlet or pigtail
• Large buttons enable finger operation without tools
• Status LED indicators on top and front allow detection of switching state from afar
• Configuration options via I/O-Link and Sensor Studio
• Compact housing

The design for medium distances

Series ODS 96B distance sensors with large measurement ranges of 60 to 25,000 mm are suitable for many different applications and, thanks to the metal housing, are extremely robust. They measure in the ms range. The integrated display shows the measurement values and allows the sensor to be easily adapted to the measurement task. Apart from analog current/voltage interfaces and binary switching outputs, digital interfaces are also available. Digital interfaces prevent conversion losses in the sensor, control and during measurement data transfer.

• Highly visible display
• Measurement value display in millimeters
• Adjustment and configuration via a key pad
• Various operating modes (fast, standard, precision)
• Extensive range of models with various light spots available
• Analog current/voltage output
• Switching outputs adjustable with millimeter accuracy
• RS 232/485 serial interface
• IO-Link

Maximum precision at long distances

The ODSL 30 measures distances on black objects up to 30 m away and on bright objects as far as 65 m away. The sensor resolution of 1 mm enables highly accurate measurements over the complete measurement range. The integrated display shows the measurement values and allows the sensor to be easily adapted to the measurement task. Apart from analog current/voltage interfaces and binary switching outputs, digital interfaces are also available. The distance sensors reveal their enormous potential for precision when used in combination with digital interfaces.

• Absolute measurement accuracy +/-2 mm over the entire measuring range
• Distances of 0.2–30 m on bright and black objects
• Referencing function for preventing fluctuations in measurement values
• Display for measured value display and configuration
• Ex model available
