Photoelectric sensors
Photoelectric sensors are optoelectronic devices that detect the presence, absence, or distance of objects using a light beam, typically infrared, visible red, or laser. These sensors operate in through-beam, retro-reflective, or diffuse modes, with sensing ranges from a few millimeters to over 60 meters depending on the model. Key technical par...
Photoelectric sensors are optoelectronic devices that detect the presence, absence, or distance of objects using a light beam, typically infrared, visible red, or laser. These sensors operate in through-beam, retro-reflective, or diffuse modes, with sensing ranges from a few millimeters to over 60 meters depending on the model. Key technical parameters include response time (often under 1 ms), output type (PNP, NPN, or analog), connection method (M8, M12 connectors or cable), and housing material (ABS, metal, or stainless steel for harsh environments). They are essential components in industrial automation for non-contact detection of materials such as metal, plastic, glass, wood, and liquids.
These sensors are widely deployed in manufacturing lines, packaging machinery, conveyor systems, material handling, and logistics automation. They are also critical in the automotive industry for part presence verification, in food and beverage processing for bottle or can detection, and in pharmaceutical production for label and cap inspection. Their ability to operate in dusty, wet, or high-temperature environments makes them suitable for heavy industry and outdoor applications.
Our catalog includes subcategories such as through-beam sensors (emitter and receiver pairs), retro-reflective sensors with polarized filters, and diffuse sensors with background suppression. Key article codes follow a structured format like OM2816-xxxx, where the suffix indicates sensing range, output type, and connection variant. For example, OM2816-1000-PNP-M12 denotes a 1-meter diffuse sensor with PNP output and M12 connector. Other common codes include OM2816-2000-NPN-CBL for a 2-meter retro-reflective sensor with NPN output and cable connection.
