These sensors use the light spectrum to accurately determine the position of any object. Their detection
distance is much greater than that of other types of proximity sensors.
Selection guide
Depending on the intended application, the user has the choice between:
- the “Direct Reflex” series,
- the “Background suppression” series,
- the “Retro Reflex” series,
- the “Through beam” range (transmitter, receiver),
- the “Optical fork” and “L Sensor” series,
or any number of other special sensors (e.g. brightness control sensors).
These different types of opto-electronic sensors are described in the pages that follow.
