Photoelectric Sensors: Precise and Reliable Object Detection

Photoelectric sensors, also known as photo sensors or optical sensors, are non-contact sensing devices that detect the presence or absence of an object by utilizing light beams. They offer a highly reliable and versatile solution for a wide range of automation and control applications. Our range of photoelectric sensors provides exceptional accuracy and performance, ensuring seamless integration into your system.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Non-Contact Sensing: Eliminates mechanical wear and tear, increasing sensor lifespan and reducing maintenance.
• High Precision & Accuracy: Provides precise object detection, even with small or fast-moving targets.
• Versatile Detection Modes: Choose from various sensing modes to optimize performance for specific applications:
  • Thru-Beam: Requires a separate emitter and receiver for precise alignment and long-range detection. Ideal for demanding applications needing high accuracy and immunity to ambient light.
  • Retro-Reflective: Utilizes a single unit with an integrated emitter and receiver, reflecting a beam off a retro-reflective target. Simple to install and cost-effective.
  • Diffuse Reflective: A single unit emits a beam that reflects directly off the object being detected. Simple installation but susceptible to ambient light and surface characteristics.
• Robust Construction: Designed for durability and reliability in harsh industrial environments. Resistant to shock, vibration, and environmental factors.
• Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for diverse industries and applications including:
  • Manufacturing & Automation: Part counting, presence detection, level sensing, position control.
  • Robotics: Object recognition, obstacle avoidance, navigation.
  • Packaging & Conveying: Product detection, jam detection, filling level control.
  • Logistics & Material Handling: Object sorting, counting, and tracking.
• Easy Installation & Integration: Designed for straightforward integration with various PLC's and control systems. Many models offer adjustable sensing distance and output configurations.
• Various Output Types: Select from options including NPN, PNP, and analog outputs to match your system requirements.
• High Immunity to Ambient Light: Advanced filtering techniques minimize interference from external light sources, ensuring stable and reliable operation.
• Compact Design: Space-saving designs ideal for applications with limited space.

Sensor Specifications (Example - Specific specs will vary by model):

• Sensing Distance: (Variable depending on model and sensing mode, e.g., 10-1000 mm)
• Response Time: (e.g., <1ms)
• Power Supply: (e.g., 10-30VDC)
• Output: (e.g., NPN, PNP, Analog)
• Housing Material: (e.g., Metal, Plastic)
• Protection Rating: (e.g., IP67)
• Operating Temperature: (e.g., -20°C to +55°C)

Selecting the Right Photoelectric Sensor:

The optimal photoelectric sensor depends on your specific application requirements. Consider the following factors:

• Sensing Distance: How far away is the object you need to detect?
• Object Characteristics: What is the size, color, surface reflectivity, and speed of the object?
• Environmental Conditions: What are the ambient light levels, temperature, and humidity conditions?
• Output Type: What type of output is compatible with your control system?
