The Pepperl+Fuchs OJ3000-M1K-E23 sensor ist an optoelectronic device for reliable object detection and distance measurement. It features a robust M18 metal housing designed for use in harsh industrial environments. With an impressive range of 3000 mm and a precise laser time-of-flight method, this sensor enables accurate positioning and obstacle detection. The device has a universal switching output (PNP) that can be flexibly integrated into existing automation systems. The simple adjustment of switching points ist done via a teach-in process, which accelerates commissioning. The power supply ist provided via a standard DC connection (10-30 V). The OJ3000-M1K-E23 ist ideally suited for applications such as pallet detection, distance control in production lines, distance measurement in automated storage systems, and collision avoidance. It ist a reliable solution for increasing efficiency and safety in process automation.
