The IFM Efector OT5009 Optical Through Beam Sensor is a through-beam optical sensor that detects interruptions in a transmitted light beam to indicate the presence or absence of an object in the beam path. Through-beam sensing uses a separate emitter and receiver to create a fixed sensing path, triggering a defined output when the beam is broken and returning to the original state when it is restored. The OT5009 is a model within IFM Efector’s line of optical sensors, offering non-contact, reliable detection for automated systems that require precise beam alignment.
