The OT500.DL-GLIAJ.72F from Baumer is a reliable distance measuring sensor engineered for demanding measurement tasks. Utilizing a through beam sensing principle, it ensures highly accurate object detection within a range of 2 to 2.5 meters, making it suitable for applications where precise distance evaluation is essential. The sensor features a PNP output circuit and a Teach-in adjustment function that simplifies calibration during installation. A yellow LED indicator provides clear visual feedback, aiding quick diagnostics on the shop floor.
This model operates on a 10 to 30 VDC supply voltage and consumes only 20 mA, offering energy efficiency along with high-speed performance. The response time is less than 0.5 ms, supporting real-time detection in high-speed industrial operations. Housed in a compact 8 mm x 16.2 mm x 10.8 mm rectangular design made from durable PMMA, MABS, and PA plastics, the sensor is built to handle mechanical stress and environmental exposure. It also features an IP65 protection rating, providing solid resistance to dust and water ingress. The integrated flylead connector M8 4-pin ensures secure electrical connectivity and compatibility with industrial wiring standards. With in-built short-circuit protection and a voltage drop under 1.8 VDC, the sensor is engineered to maintain stable performance in control-critical environments.
The Baumer OT500.DL-GLIAJ.72F Distance Measuring Sensor is ideal for material positioning on automated conveyors, fill level detection in packaging lines, and precision alignment in robotic arms. It’s especially useful in narrow installations where size constraints limit the use of bulkier sensors. Junior maintenance engineers find it intuitive to deploy due to its Teach-in function and LED feedback. Senior engineers value the fast response and accuracy for closed-loop control systems. For engineering students and lab trainers, this model offers a clear demonstration of through-beam sensing principles and practical integration in automation systems. The sensor’s ability to detect consistently across different surface types makes it dependable in real-world use cases where conditions may vary.
