$18.99

Through beam photoelectric sensor consists of a light projector and a light receiver, both of which are separated in structure. The supply voltage is DC 12V-24V or AC 110V-220V. Infrared photoelectric sensor can distinguish the opaque reflective object, with long effective detection distance 5/15/50m, less susceptible to interference, long life, and high reliability.

Tips: How does through beam photoelectric sensors work effectively in actual application?

Avoid strong light sources
In high ambient illumination, through beam photoelectric sensors can work steadily. But should avoid the optical axis of the photoelectric sensor is facing the sun, incandescent and other strong light source. If the angle between the optical axis of the light receiver and the strong light source can't be changed, a light-shielding plate can be installed on the top and the periphery of the photoelectric sensor, or a shading tube can be set outside.
Prevent mutual interference
When several sets of infrared photoelectric sensors are installed in close proximity to each other, the neighboring groups need to be prevented from interfering with each other. The most effective way is to set light projectors and light receivers cross, more than 2 groups need to increase the group distance. Or use different frequency photoelectric sensors.
Specular reflection affect
When the detection object is shiny or has a smooth metal surface, the general reflectivity is high. There is an approximate specular reflection affect. At this time, the light projector and detection object is installed to form an angle of 10 ~ 20 °. The optical axis of the light projector is not perpendicular to the object, thus preventing malfunction.

This cylinder amplifier photoelectric sensor features 600nm infrared light as light source, Working at rated voltage DC 12V-24V or AC 110V-220V, it can distinguish the opaque reflective objects, with long effective detection distance optional between 5/15/50m.

This laser through beam photoelectric switch consists of a light projector and a light receiver, designed with three-wire NPN normally open contact form, metal shell and ABS technology, delivering high sensitivity, great anti-inference performance, accuracy and durability.

2. This photoelectric sensor, Round type, M12, its a detection distance range is 3m±10%, including a range of 12 inches.

Great product and assistance

Several days ago, I bought these through-beam photoelectric sensors provided by ATO. They are used for soot pollution detector devices in our factory. Because of the high-resolution and short response time of the sensors, all the detector devices can work in a good state. Good products and price!

Good quality and cheap price photoelectric sensors

I bought a batch of photoelectric sensors this time. All the through beam photoelectric sensors have good quality and good sensitivity. The packaging is intact. Of course the main thing is they are very cheap.
