Position Sensors

A photoelectric sensor, or photo eye, is a sophisticated device used to detect the distance, absence, or presence of an object by utilizing a light transmitter, typically infrared, along with a photoelectric receiver. These sensors are widely employed in various industrial applications due to their precision and reliability. They function by emitting a light beam that is either reflected back by the object or interrupted, allowing the sensor to detect its presence or measure its distance accurately.

Photoelectric sensors are highly versatile and can be configured in different modes, such as through-beam, retro-reflective, and diffuse, each suited to specific environmental conditions and application requirements. These sensors are commonly used in automation systems, packaging lines, conveyor belts, and safety installations, where they ensure high-speed, accurate detection even in challenging environments. Their robust construction and ability to operate effectively in dusty, wet, or extreme temperature conditions make them an ideal choice for demanding industrial settings.
