Through Beam Sensor Application

Through beam sensor application.

Reflective sensors in this type of sensor a beam of light is sent out from an emitter and is bounced off of a reflector back to a detector. There are three different useful types. The through beam design means that the receiver is aligned with the light emitter and is waiting for an object to pass in between the two triggering detection because the object is preventing the light beam from getting to the receiver. This high gain enables through beam sensors to be reliably used in foggy dusty and dirty environments.

An area sensor is a through beam sensor which consists of a pair of emitter and receiver with multiple beams. Reflective through beam and proximity. Area sensors can sense wide areas. Monitoring of production and packing lines.

These sensors are ideal for picking systems for small parts. There are three basic configurations for photoelectric proximity sensors. Select the sensing width of the sensor to fit the application. A great example of this design is your garage door sensor.

When the light beam is able to reflect back this registers as no object being present. Opposed through beam retro reflective and proximity sensing diffused.
