Photoelectric Sensor & Switches

Photoelectric sensors and switches use a light beam to detect the presence, absence or movement of an object, reading the beam's interruption or return rather than touching anything. Assembly cells need them when a part has to be detected at speed with nothing touching it, when a fouled lens has made an existing sensor unreliable, or when a new line needs presence checked across a gap a contact switch cannot bridge.

 

As an authorized electrical distributor for multiple manufacturers, we stock photoelectric sensors, photocell switches, reflectors, measuring equipment and infrared inspection windows across competing lines, so you can cover beam sensing and its accessories from one place, compare housings and connection types across brands, and pick the sensing mode the gap and target allow.
