ifm OJ5148 sensor specifications. Background suppression photoelectric sensor, 150mm range, PNP output, M8 connector, red light.

Product Overview

The ifm OJ5148 is a photoelectric sensor with background suppression (BGS) technology. It uses a triangulation method to detect objects within a precise sensing window, ignoring objects beyond the set sensing distance. This model features a 150mm range, PNP switching output, and an M8 connector. It is designed for reliable object detection and positioning in automated systems.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• Background Suppression (BGS):​ Detects objects within a precise range, ignores background surfaces

• Adjustable Sensing Distance:​ Sensing window can be set via potentiometer

• PNP Output:​ Sourcing output for PLC input modules

• Selectable Switching Logic:​ Can be configured as NO or NC via push button

• M8 Connector:​ Quick, secure electrical connection

• Compact Housing:​ Small size for easy integration

• IP 67 Rating:​ Protected against dust and temporary immersion

• High Resolution:​ Accurate detection independent of object color and reflectivity

Applications

• Object detection and positioning on conveyors

• Presence detection of small parts

• End-of-travel sensing

• Fill level detection in transparent containers

• Counting and sorting tasks

Important Notes

1. BGS technology ensures reliable detection regardless of object color, but highly reflective surfaces may require adjustment.

2. The sensing distance is adjustable via the integrated potentiometer; ensure correct setting for the application.

3. PNP output supplies positive voltage when switched; compatible with sinking PLC inputs.

4. The M8 connector requires a mating cable (sold separately).

5. The sensor is not designed for hazardous area use.
