The Pepperl + Fuchs VDM28-8-L-IO/110/115B/122 is a state-of-the-art distance sensor designed for precise measurement tasks in a variety of industrial applications. This sensor utilises Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) to deliver accurate, clear, and reproducible results over a measurement range of 0.2 to 8 meters. It is particularly adept at handling minimal black-white differences, ensuring consistent performance across different surface colours and reflectivities.
Equipped with a red laser light source, the VDM28-8-L-IO/110/115B/122 operates within the 660 nm wavelength, providing a laser class 2 rating that balances performance with user safety. The laser's beam divergence is finely tuned to 1 mrad, which, along with a pulse length of 5 ns and a repetition rate of 250 kHz, contributes to the sensor's high precision.
The compact housing dimensions make this sensor one of the smallest in its class, allowing for easy integration into systems where space is at a premium. Despite its size, it does not compromise on functionality, featuring a push-pull output and an analog output for versatile connectivity options.
The sensor's interface is IO-Link compliant, offering simplified wiring and smart data management capabilities. This allows for easy integration into existing control systems and facilitates remote configuration and monitoring.
With an operating voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC, the VDM28-8-L-IO/110/115B/122 is flexible and adaptable to various power supplies. Its robust design is IP65 rated, signifying a high level of protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for challenging environments.
The VDM28-8-L-IO/110/115B/122 is a reliable choice for professionals seeking a high-performance distance sensor that combines accuracy, ease of use, and durability. Whether it's for automation, process control, or other precision-dependent applications, this sensor is engineered to meet the demands of modern industry.
