Optical sensors
Optical sensors are sensors that use light from an LED to detect objects, distance, or motion. They work by emitting light towards a target and measuring the reflected or blocked light beam.
Direct reflecting (diffuse) photocells
Complete range of optical sensors and also miniature sensors in sizes Ø4mm & M5.
Background-blurred photocells
Optical sensors using triangulation principle that provide high accuracy and marginal difference between light and dark objects.
Photocell against reflector
Complete range of optical sensors against reflector, also with UV light for transparent objects or polarized light suitable for shiny objects.
Photoelectric Sensor Transmitter-Receiver
Optical sensor transmitter-receiver with secure and dirt-resistant detection. Long sensing distance, including mini sensor in size Ø4mm & M5.
Fiber
Cuttable fiber, Ø2.2mm synthetic fiber, direct reflection or transmitter-receiver. Glass fiber with metal jacket up to 250°C. Used with a separate amplifier.
Area sensor
Optical sensor transmitter and receiver or against reflex. High switching frequency allows the sensors to also be used for ejector control.
Safetinex
Safety-rated light curtains for personnel protection, according to risk class 2 or 4. Finger protection, hand protection, or access control.
Color sensor 3x PNP
Can detect up to three colors/shade differences. Teach-in programming with five selectable tolerance levels per output. 4KHz.
Contrast scanner, 10kHz
Focused light beam with red, green, or blue light. The best color is automatically selected when the sensor is programmed with teach-in.
Fork photoelectric cell
Optical sensor transmitter and receiver aligned in fork housing. Very precise detection with small light spot and high switching frequency.
Area sensor for high temperature
Robust metal housing with connection for air cooling. 12 optical pairs with very high resolution. Response time 10ms.
