Why Choose the IMO QDRD2/0N-0F Photo-Electric Switch?
The IMO QDRD2/0N-0F is a compact QD Series miniature photoelectric sensor designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation and machine control systems. Using a direct diffuse reflection sensing principle, the sensor detects objects without requiring a separate reflector or receiver, making it well suited to compact machinery and conveyor applications.
This model uses a visible red 630 nm light source with a nominal sensing distance of 400 mm and incorporates adjustable sensitivity for precise detection setup. Its NPN output can be configured for normally open or normally closed operation, while selectable light-on or dark-on switching provides additional flexibility during installation.
The QDRD2/0N-0F operates from a 10–30 V DC supply and features an M8 4-pin connector for quick connection and replacement. With an IP67-rated PA66 housing, fast switching performance and built-in electrical protection, it is designed for dependable sensing in demanding industrial environments.
