IFM Efector OGE300 Through-Beam Sensor Receiver

This IFM electronic OGE300 functions as the receiving unit within a through-beam photoelectric sensor system intended for integration into industrial automation environments requiring long-distance object detection. As part of the Efector 200 product line, the sensor head operates within a wide direct current supply voltage range from 10 to 36 volts and maintains a consumption level of 200 milliamperes during active operation. These specifications ensure compatibility with standard Programmable Logic Controller inputs and existing power distribution infrastructure commonly found in manufacturing plants. Its optical transmission capability supports a maximum sensing distance of 0 to 200 meters, which facilitates plant layouts where transmitters and receivers must be positioned across significant gaps between machinery stations or processing lines. Detection relies on the interruption of a focused light beam sent from a paired transmitter, allowing the receiver to signal the presence or absence of a target object to the supervisory control system for tasks like automated counting or position verification.
