Sensors in this category can use light to detect or count objects contactlessly, measure distances and detect light, color, gloss or luminescence. Photoelectronic sensors are not only characterized by their functionality, but also by their space-saving design. The additional connection of special fiber-optic cables permits their use in extreme conditions such as cold, hot or tight spaces.
The broad portfolio of photoelectronic sensors is divided into 15 product categories to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications. Each category offers a variety of solutions to ensure the right sensor size is available for each specific application.
The designs include cubic, metric and hybrid shapes in plastic, aluminum or stainless steel housings. The optical sensors operate reliably in a temperature range of –50 to +250 °C and offer a detection range of 0 to 100,000 mm.
