The Pepperl+Fuchs OBG5000-R100-2EP-IO-0,3M-V1 Retroreflective Sensor (glass) is engineered to deliver precise and reliable detection in a broad range of industrial automation applications. Designed with a retroreflective principle, this sensor uses a glass reflector to detect objects that interrupt the emitted light beam. This ensures reliable sensing performance across a wide variety of materials, colors, and surface finishes, making it an excellent choice for handling complex detection tasks where diffuse or through-beam solutions may not be optimal. By utilizing a visible red light source, it provides clear optical feedback for easy alignment and setup, significantly reducing installation time.

Equipped with IO-Link communication capability, the OBG5000-R100-2EP-IO-0,3M-V1 brings the advantages of Industry 4.0 to the shop floor. IO-Link allows for advanced diagnostic functions, including monitoring of sensor health, detection quality, and operating conditions. It also enables remote configuration, ensuring that sensors can be adjusted quickly without manual intervention, which reduces downtime and improves process efficiency. This communication standard also ensures seamless integration with modern PLC systems, enhancing transparency and control in production processes.

The sensor’s compact R100 housing is designed for maximum flexibility in installation. Its small footprint makes it suitable for tight spaces or complex machine layouts, while its standardized mounting accessories support quick and secure setup. The integrated 0.3 m cable with M12 V1 connector further enhances installation convenience, ensuring reliable connectivity in industrial environments.

Durability is at the core of the OBG5000-R100-2EP-IO-0,3M-V1. Built with robust housing materials and sealed to meet IP-rated protection standards, it is resistant to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. This ensures consistent and dependable operation even in harsh industrial environments such as packaging lines, logistics systems, or material handling operations where vibration and contamination are common. With its combination of reliability, advanced communication, and rugged design, this sensor provides a future-proof solution for demanding automation tasks.
