Photoelectric / Laser Sensors
Photoelectric and laser sensors utilize light energy to detect, identify or measure an object. This technology is the most widely used for industrial machine automation, product inspection and material handling applications. Many models are capable of detecting slight differences in color, contrast, reflectivity and distance. Both switch and analog output versions are available and can be used in light diffused (proximity), background (retroreflective), or through beam configurations.
