Laser Distance Sensor O1D105

Introduction – Laser Distance Sensor O1D105

The Laser Distance Sensor O1D105 from ifm electronic delivers precise, reliable, and long-range optical distance measurement for industrial automation. Using a Class 2 red laser (650 nm), it measures distances up to 10 meters with high accuracy and repeatability, making it suitable for diverse sensing and positioning tasks. Its rugged die-cast zinc housing with IP67 protection ensures performance in demanding factory environments.

With two switching outputs and one configurable analogue output (4–20 mA or 0–10 V), the O1D105 offers flexibility in both process control and monitoring applications. The integrated IO-Link communication interface allows for digital transmission of measured values, easy parameter setting, and diagnostic access, ensuring compatibility with modern industrial systems.

Engineered for high precision, the sensor’s scalable measuring range and background suppression provide stable readings even in complex optical conditions. These features, combined with a visible laser spot (15 × 15 mm at 10 m), simplify alignment and commissioning.

Available through Dubai Sensor, this sensor is an ideal choice for industries across the UAE and MENA region, offering reliable distance measurement, fast integration, and long operational life exceeding 100 years (MTTF).
