Regardless of what material you’re trying to detect, photoelectric sensors are the best solution for non-contact applications. They identify an object’s presence using visible red or infra-red emissions that are invisible to the naked eye. Once the target has broken the light beam, the reflection goes back to the device and activates the sensor output. Compared to inductive proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors have a longerstandoff distance, can detect a wider range of objects, seamlessly differentiate between colors and surfaces, and has several sensing modes such as:
- Diffuse
- Thru-beam
- Retro-reflective
- Reflex
- Liquid monitoring
