In industrial automation, sensors are not just accessories, they are critical components that directly affect machine performance, operator safety and production efficiency. A poorly selected sensor ...

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 ...

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).

All photoelectric sensors use a beam of light to detect the presence or absence of a target. Standard incandescent light was the source for the old electric eye. Visible red or infrared LEDs provide ...

The Series 31 Opti-Vue photoelectric sensors have a footprint of 35 mm x 62 mm, making them the company’s smallest photoelectric sensors with a built-in SPDT relay on ac/dc models and a 4-in-1 output ...

These light barriers create a closed light beam between the sensor and machine part. A separate reflector is unnecessary, reducing operating costs and increasing process safety. SmartReflect light ...

The WORLD-BEAM family of photoelectric sensors now includes compact Q20 sensors offering a host of sensing modes in rectangular, IP67-sealed housings with an industry-standard 25.4-mm mounting. The ...

Industrial production is a competitive advantage for all companies, whatever their size and whatever their activities. The new production modes, digitalized and more oriented to e-commerce, have ...

Launched in a global release today, SICK’s next-generation W16 and W26 smart sensors with “BluePilot” alignment are at the helm of a streamlined portfolio of photoelectric sensors, radically-upgraded ...
