The Baumer OADR 20I6586/S14F is a high-precision optical distance sensor designed for demanding environments, featuring a measuring range of 200 to 1000 mm. It is equipped with a pulsed red laser diode with a wavelength of 650 nm and operates within the safety of laser class 2. This sensor offers a resolution between 120 and 2500 µm and maintains accuracy with a linearity error of ±0.48 to 10 mm. The robust washdown design, made from stainless steel 1.4404 (V4A) and PMMA optics, ensures durability and resistance, suitable for harsh conditions with IP 69K and proTect+ ratings. Key functionalities include external adjustment, a teach-in range starting from 20 mm, and dual LED indicators for power status and lens contamination. The sensor supports a voltage supply range of 12 to 28 VDC and features both analog and PNP outputs, with comprehensive protection against short circuits and reverse polarity. Its compact dimensions (20.3 mm width, 65 mm height, 51 mm depth) and an M12 8-pin connector facilitate easy integration into various setups. Ideal for applications requiring precise distance measurement and reliable operation in industrial environments.
