Thru-Beam Sensors
Thru-beam sensors boast a design where the emitter and receiver align directly opposite each other, facilitating the direct transmission of light to the receiver. This configuration enables the sensors to achieve impressive detection ranges and substantial excess gain. Remarkably versatile, these sensors exhibit consistent reliability in detecting a diverse range of objects.
Their effectiveness remains unaffected by variables such as the angle of incidence, surface characteristics, or the color of the object. This inherent resilience makes thru-beam sensors a robust solution, ensuring reliable and accurate object detection across a wide array of environmental conditions and material properties.
Retroreflective Sensors
Aligning the emitter and receiver within a user-friendly housing simplifies the installation of retroreflective sensors. To set up, just position a reflector on the opposing side and align the sensor accordingly. The standard version, equipped with a polarization filter, not only inherits the ease of installation from retroreflective systems but also ensures dependable detection, even for reflective objects, over extended distances.
These retroreflective sensors are particularly well-suited for clear object detection, excelling in the reliable identification of transparent objects. This versatile system offers both straightforward installation and high-performance capabilities, making it an optimal choice for a range of applications.
