The press release announces a new robust photoelectric sensor called the OI Cube from ifm electronic. The sensor has long sensing ranges of up to 800 mm for diffuse types and up to 15 m for retro-reflective types. It is well-suited for conveying applications where high ranges are needed. A special feature is the multiturn potentiometer for precisely setting the switch point, which is displayed on a scale and remains linear with distance. The sensor is robust enough to withstand harsh industrial conditions.
