Di-Soric - Angled Light Barriers

Di-Soric – Angled Light Barriers

Angled light barriers from di-soric work according to the through-beam principle. They are used, preferably in tight spaces, for fast, surface-independent detection of objects. Since transmitter, receiver and the electronics are located in one housing, they can be mounted quickly. Costly brackets and time-consuming adjustments can be avoided.

Angled Light Barriers with IO-Link

Flexible, fast, and precise object detection for demanding applications.

For decades, di-soric has been a leader in developing angled light barriers that set new industry standards. The latest generation offers an innovative dual-operation concept, allowing for full sensor configuration via IO-Link or simple manual switching point adjustment with a potentiometer. This flexibility means that instead of stocking multiple hardware versions, a single device can be configured for various applications as needed.

Key Differentiators Between the Series

OGL

The OGL series represents the evolution of the standard angled light barrier. It provides high resolution and reproducibility at outstanding speeds, making it a versatile choice for detecting parts in assembly, handling, and packaging technology.

Features

  • Dual operation: IO-Link or potentiometer
  • 4 pre-configured sensor modes (Standard, High Resolution, Power, Speed)
  • Push-pull output (pnp/npn in one device)
  • Operating distances from 60 to 158 mm
  • NO/NC changeover using potentiometer
  • Backward compatible design with M8 connection
  • Rugged, powder-coated IP67 metal housing

Highlights

  • Application-specific configuration reduces hardware variants.
  • Easy device swapping and setup.
  • Ideal for general part detection in automated systems.
  • High performance and reliability in a compact size.

OGLP – Dirt Resistant

Engineered for performance in dirty and oily production environments, the OGLP series provides precise object detection regardless of surface properties. With high functional reserves, these sensors continue to operate long after others have failed.

Features

  • Maximum function reserve for high switching accuracy
  • Infrared high-performance light source
  • Default “Power” mode; other modes selectable
  • Reproducibility of 0.03 mm
  • Available with branch lengths of 60, 100, and 158 mm
  • Rugged design for harsh conditions

Highlights

  • Reliable detection in environments with dust, coolant, or oil.
  • High precision paired with maximum power.
  • Ideal for demanding mechanical engineering applications.
  • Maintains performance where other sensors might fail.

OGLL – Laser

The OGLL series offers the ultimate solution for the process-reliable and fast detection of very small objects down to 0.03 mm. It can define the position and alignment of thin wires, drill bits, or cannulae with reproducible accuracy of 0.01 mm.

Features

  • Detects objects as small as 0.03 mm
  • Reproducible accuracy down to 0.01 mm
  • 4 pre-configured sensor modes via IO-Link
  • High functional reserve for reliable detection
  • Robust, powder-coated metallic housing
  • High IP67 protection class

Highlights

  • Maximum precision for the smallest parts.
  • Ideal for quality control applications.
  • Fast and reliable for rapid-cycle processes.
  • Suited for assembly, handling, and packaging of miniature components.

Angled light barriers with IO-Link

IO-Link provides a point-to-point connection within any network, fieldbus or backplane bus. The IO-Link master can be installed either directly in the field or in the control cabinet. The international IO-Link standard (in accordance with IEC 61131-9) is now regarded as an “Enabler for Industry 4.0”.

Reliable, high-performance applications using our angled light barriers with IO-Link.
