The OD1-B100C50A14 is a 2D Laser Displacement Sensor from the OD Mini series, delivering profile-based measurement over a 50.0 mm to 150.0 mm installation distance. It outputs data via RS485 on a 4-pin connector, running on 12 ~ 24 VDC. The IP67 rating means the housing and optics withstand washdown and airborne dust — suitable for inline dimensioning, gap monitoring, or seam tracking in assembly and packaging lines where coolant mist or periodic cleaning is present.
Measurement range and output
The 50.0 mm to 150.0 mm installation window covers a 100 mm working span. That is the distance from the sensor face to the target surface; the 2D profile width at any given standoff depends on the laser's fan angle, which the datasheet specifies per the OD Mini optical design. The RS485 interface carries raw profile data back to a controller — typically a SICK FlexiSoft or a third-party PLC with a serial gateway. Termination is via a 4-pin connector (M12, industry-standard pinout), not a pigtail, so field replacement means unplugging the existing cable assembly rather than re-terminating wires.
That covers washdown in food processing, machining coolant splash, and outdoor covered installations. The operating temperature floor is -10°C; the ceiling is 40°C. If the ambient around the mounting bracket exceeds 40°C, the laser diode's lifetime derates, so keep the sensor out of direct oven exhaust or sun-loaded metal panels. Supply voltage tolerance is 12 ~ 24 VDC, which covers standard 24 VDC control supplies and 12 VDC battery-backed lines.
The OD1-B100C50A14 carries an Active product status. It is a current-catalog item within the OD Mini family, not a phase-out or NRND line. No official successor has been issued because the part remains in the active portfolio.
