Optical Sensors - Photoelectric, Industrial

Photoelectric sensors, also known as photoeyes, are sensors that are used to detect the presence or absence of an object. These sensors typically consist of a light source, such as an LED or laser, and a photodetector, such as a photodiode or phototransistor. When an object is present in the detection area, the light is blocked, and the photodetector generates a signal. Photoelectric sensors are commonly used in a wide range of industrial applications, including material handling, packaging, and machine safety. These sensors are available in a variety of sizes, detection ranges, and output types to suit different applications. Photoelectric sensors are an essential component of many industrial systems, providing accurate and reliable detection of the presence or absence of an object.
