Omron Photoelectric Sensors
At their core, photoelectric sensors are devices that use light to detect the presence, absence, or distance of an object. Omron photoelectric sensors excel in object detection, providing accurate and reliable data that is crucial for automated processes.
These sensors work by emitting a beam of light (usually infrared) from an emitter to a receiver. Detection occurs when an object interrupts or reflects this beam, signaling the sensor to trigger a response.
