Photoelectric, Fibre & Laser Sensors
Light-based sensors that detect objects, edges and distances using beams of light. Stock includes photoelectric sensors, fibre optic sensors with their fibre optic cable, laser displacement sensors, slotted optical switches and reflective optical sensors. Fibre optic heads and cables are listed beside amplifiers and laser types, so small or hard to reach detection points can be covered from one page.
They are common in packaging, electronics assembly and material handling, where parts are small or must not be touched. Consider the sensing range, the target colour and surface, the light source and how much dirt the environment carries.
- Counting products on packaging lines
- Measuring part height or thickness
- Detecting tiny parts in electronics assembly
