The Baumer O300 and O500 optical sensors product overview details features, specifications, mounting options, and applications.
The O300 and O500 series introduce Baumer's new performance categories for optical sensors, offering high excess gain, high MTTF values, and a compact OneBox design for flexible planning. qTeach provides a wear‑free teach‑in method using a ferromagnetic tool and blue LED feedback, while qTarget aligns the light beam to fixing holes for precise installation.
Both sensors support multiple light‑source options (PinPoint LED, Standard LED, Infrared LED, SmartReflect) and a range of mounting and connection accessories. They are suited for demanding applications in packaging, logistics, food, semiconductor, and pharmaceutical industries, delivering fast 0.5 ms response times and reliable object detection even in tight spaces.
| Response time | 0.5 ms |
|---|---|
| Output function (example) | Push‑Pull M12, 3‑pin cable |
| Light source options | PinPoint LED, Standard LED, Infrared LED, SmartReflect |
Teaching of O500 sensors is done by touching the sensor with any ferromagnetic tool, the blue LED gives optical feedback, and the system locks automatically after five minutes.
The Baumer qTarget design aligns the sensor’s light beam to the fixing holes, compensating tolerances and guaranteeing consistent alignment across the series.
All sensor technologies provide a fast response time of 0.5 ms.
