Laser distance sensor from Balluff with IO-Link and ambient light suppression

Integrated into a rugged plastic IP 67 housing, the sensor is available for working distances of 50 to 100 mm and 50 to 650 mm with a resolution of < 10µm or 50µm. It provides a continuous, proportional voltage and current signal of 0 to 10 V or 4 to 20 mA. Two digital outputs with selectable PNP/NPN switching function (normally open/normally closed) are also available. With a switching frequency of 500 Hz continuous detection of even fast events are no special challenge for the sensor.

On the top side of the sensor is a highly visible OLED display and two integrated keys. These can be used to select various modes and functions. Intuitive, menu-driven operation means fast startup and easy use of the full functionality. Alternatively you can make all the settings even more conveniently using IO-Link.

Three integrated mounting holes and a rotating plug make installation and connection easier. A simple, standardized 4-pin M12 plug means the BOD 24K is quick and easy to connect. Two colored LEDs indicate readiness and the switching state of the sensor.
