Photoelectric Sensor Technology Excels at Object Detection in Demanding Applications

Oct. 30, 2024
Sensors adhering to through-beam, diffuse, or retro-reflective sensor principles offer you choices to optimize performance in various environmental and ambient lighting conditions.

Demanding applications ranging from automatic commercial door openers to industrial conveying equipment can benefit from key advances in photoelectric sensor technology. But to properly apply object detection sensors and industrial photoelectric sensors, you will need a thorough understanding of the issues involved in choosing through-beam versus diffuse sensors and in successfully implementing retro-reflective sensor applications.

Download this white paper, entitled Photoelectric Sensor Technology Excels at Object Detection in Industrial Applications, to learn about: 

  • Determining the physical characteristics of your detection target, including its size and reflectivity.
  • Understanding the integration requirements, including supply voltage, sensor output level, and sensor termination style.
  • Considering your operating environment and, if necessary, choosing a housing material that can withstand exposure to oils, chemicals, or washdown conditions.
  • Selecting sensors with flexible programming and communications options.
  • Collaborating with a reputable sensor manufacturer.
