The IFM US-100-DPS-OU5046 Thru Beam Receiver Sensor is the receiving unit in an IFM through-beam photoelectric pair, designed to detect when the transmitted beam is interrupted across a defined path. It is associated with the OU5046 designation and OUE-DPKG packaging, and it provides a signal to automation controllers when the beam is broken by an intervening object. Common applications include non-contact object presence and position sensing in conveyors and other automation setups that rely on beam-based detection.
