The OD2-N30W04I0 is a 2D Laser Displacement Sensor from the OD Value series, delivering a measurement range of 30mm ±4mm with an NPN output. It operates on 12~24VDC and is chassis-mount, terminated via connector. The IP67 rating means the housing and optics survive washdown environments — suitable for inline dimension checking or gap monitoring on a conveyor line where coolant or mist is present. The installation distance is fixed at 26.0mm to 34.0mm, so the bracket must hold that standoff; any shift outside that window and the sensor won't lock onto the target.
Mounting is chassis-mount only — no DIN-rail clip, so plan for a bracket or plate. The connector termination (not flying leads) means the mating cable must be ordered separately if not already on hand. Operating temperature is -10°C to 40°C, which covers most indoor plant floors but not a freezer or outdoor enclosure without climate control. The 12~24VDC supply is common across the OD Value family, so a single 24VDC rail powers it alongside other sensors.
The sensor's 2D laser profile captures a line, not just a single point, so it can detect edge position, width, or gap across a moving target. The ±4mm measurement range around the 30mm standoff gives an 8mm total window — tight enough for precision alignment, not for large part variation. IP67 keeps coolant and dust out of the optics; the connector termination avoids moisture wicking into the cable jacket.
