The options when specifying sensors for long-range object detection or positioning usually boil down to two alternatives: optical sensors using either infrared or visible-red light and ultrasonic.

Designed to accurately detect shiny objects, the VS3 series retroreflective sensors are said to eliminate the blind response area associated with conventional photoelectric sensors. Miniature in size, ...

The latest addition to its portfolio from SICK provides reliable, accurate and robust detection in even the most complex and ...

Company Announcement - The Leuze RK46C-VarOS retro-reflective photoelectric sensor is capable of detecting objects over an operating range of 0.4 to 5.2 metres, with a light band width of 45 to 50 mm.

With both discrete and analog outputs, the BOL 27K retroreflective photoelectric sensor projects a measuring line of light on to a strip of special reflective tape, which it uses to measure and locate ...

Sensor technology specialist SICK has launched the W12NextGen range of photoelectric sensors, designed to deliver enhanced detection performance in challenging industrial environments. The new series ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

The usual way of detecting objects of varying shapes, heights, or positions has been through the use of an array of single-beam photoelectric sensors or a thru-beam light grid: a photoelectric array ...
