description
ipf electronic optical sensors in the versions Ø 4mm and M5
are the smallest devices of their kind with integrated amplifier. They feature a metal housing and are fully vacuum-potted.
Concentrating reflectors are part of the optical section. Filled with compound they provide for excellent durability in
severe environmental conditions.
The electronic section has been executed in chip-on-board
technology (no ceramic hybrid) making it insensitive to
vibrations. This also avoids breakage of the printed circuit
board due to mechanical stress. The glass lens resists scratches making it easy to clean.
IP67 protection is guaranteed thanks to resin-encapsulation.
Inductive proximity switches can be replaced, if they fail to
perform for the required sensing range. Diffuse reflection

sensors with a cylindrical light beam can also be used for
example inside a pipe or tubing.
These subminiature devices are used, where space is insufficient for larger light barriers. In addition to this they can
serve as an alternative to fiber optic systems, because there is no need for an external amplifier.
A yellow LED displays the switching status. The LED flashes
in case of an insufficient functional reserve (soiling or unfavorable alignment) displaying the function in the instable
range. This facilitates the alignment when being assembled
and soiling is recognized before the device fails.
