What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).

A new photoelectric distance sensor in the R200 series uses Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) for precise distance measurement up to 60 m. With this technology, the R200 achieves a repeat accuracy of ≤ 3 ...

Machines need sensors and transmitters to operate reliably and consistently. All it takes is a small drop in air pressure or a slight jam to cause a machine to crash; these sorts of problems can often ...

Banner Engineering‘s new Q45 Photoelectric Wireless Sensor merges two of the Minneapolis-based sensor manufacturing firm’s technologies: its photoelectric sensing technology that was traditionally ...
