Through Beam Photoelectric Sensor

Our fiber optic cables are ideal for sensing small objects and are mounted in locations that would be inaccessible to photoelectric sensors.

Through beam photoelectric sensor.

Our through beam sensors are reliable in foggy dusty and dirty environments. Opposed through beam retro reflective and proximity sensing diffused. A photoelectric sensor is an equipment used to discover the distance absence or presence of an object by using a light transmitter often infrared and a photoelectric receiver. Photoelectric sensors detect photo optical workpieces.

The transmitted or reflected beam is carried back to the receiver through different fibers. Through beam photoelectric sensors from pepperl fuchs offer the most efficient sensing mode which results in the longest sensing ranges highest excess gain. Through beam sensing mode sometimes referred to as thru beam transmitted beam opposed mode or beam break is the oldest photoelectric sensing mode. Light emitted from the sensor travels through transparent fibers in the cables and emerges at the end of the fiber.

They are largely used in industrial manufacturing. There are three different useful types. In through beam photoelectric sensing or opposed mode the transmitter and emitter are in separate housings light emitted from the transmitter is aimed directly at the receiver.
