Why Choose the IMO FAR3/0P-0E Photo-Electric Switch?
The IMO FAR3/0P-0E is a compact and reliable M18 diffuse-reflection photo-electric sensor designed for non-contact object detection in industrial automation, machinery and material-handling systems. Using a visible red sensing beam and an adjustable detection range, it provides dependable presence and position sensing without requiring a separate reflector or receiver.
Designed for straightforward integration into automated equipment, the FAR3/0P-0E operates from a 10–30 V DC supply and provides a PNP switching output with selectable light-on or dark-on operation. Its cylindrical M18 format makes it suitable for installation in machine frames, brackets and confined automation assemblies.
The sensor offers an adjustable sensing distance of up to approximately 100 mm, an M12 plug connection and a durable PBT body. With IP67 protection, it is designed to provide reliable sensing performance in demanding industrial environments where dust and moisture may be present.
