PHOTO ELECTRIC SWITCHES
 
Photoelectric Switches
 
These are based on Modulated infrared beam principle used in non-contact switching. It can detect non-metallic, plastic, paper, transparent as well as opaque objects.

Common Specifications
Supply - 10 to 30 VDC in case of sensors.
Output - NPN or PNP type in case of sensors.
For 230 VAC operations power pack relay unit is required and output is available through potential free relay contacts.

Thru Beam Sensors / Switches

These are widly known as Through Beam Sensors consisting of Transmitter and Receiver. They are mainly used to monitor position of the object.
Sensors have built-in amplifier working on 5-30V DC supply. Unit consists of seperate transmitter and receiver in separate housing and placed across where object is to be sensed.  The advantage in case of switches is amplifier is in separate box and sensor can be miniatursed as per the requirement. built-in amplifier working on DC supply.  The advantage in case of switches is amplifier is in separate box and sensor can be miniatursed as per the requirement.
Sensing Range available - 200 mm to 100 meters.

Retroreflective Sensors/Switches

These are infrared switches used to detect edge or edge guiding limit switching etc applications.
Unit consists of transmitter and receiver in same housing and beam is reflected via reflector from transmitter to receiver. Any object passing through this arrangement can be detected. Sensors have built-in amplifier working on DC supply.
Sensing Range available  -   200 mm to 10 meters.

Diffused Scan Switches

Unit consists of transmitter and receiver in same housing and when object comes in to proximity,  beam is diverted from transmitter to receiver. 
Basic advantage of this sensing method is one side wiring.
Sensing range available - 100mm to 1.5 meters. Optionally can be supplied with 4 pin connector.
