Through Beam Photoelectric Sensor

Through beam sensors are often the go to photoelectric sensor since no matter what the target object s color texture surface finish or material it will be reliably detected.

Through beam photoelectric sensor.

Omron provides many varieties of sensor including diffuse reflective through beam retro reflective and distance settable sensors as well as sensors with either built in or separate amplifiers and fiber units. Our through beam sensors are reliable in foggy dusty and dirty environments. The transmitted or reflected beam is carried back to the receiver through different fibers. Light emitted from the sensor travels through transparent fibers in the cables and emerges at the end of the fiber.

Photoelectric sensors detect photo optical workpieces. Our fiber optic cables are ideal for sensing small objects and are mounted in locations that would be inaccessible to photoelectric sensors. Through beam sensing mode sometimes referred to as thru beam transmitted beam opposed mode or beam break is the oldest photoelectric sensing mode. Through beam photoelectric sensors from pepperl fuchs offer the most efficient sensing mode which results in the longest sensing ranges highest excess gain.

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. There are three different useful types. They are largely used in industrial manufacturing.
