Photoelectric Switches
A photoelectric switch is a sensor that uses light to sense an object. This is done through a technique using pulsed light in either diffuse, through beam, or retro-reflective modes to detect objects.

Baumer OHDK14 Background Suppression LasersDiffuse sensors with background or foreground suppression which work with triangulation do not only sense the light reflected from the target, but also sense the distance of the object to the sensor. Within the fully adjustable distance, objects which are at least as big as the diameter of the light beam are recognized independently of color and surface properties.

Sunx NA1-5 Area SensorThe NA1-5/PK5 series of bin picking sensors is perfect for preventing errors due to incorrect part picking during assembly or packaging operations. Human error is reduced by incorporating a large, bright LED indicator bar that can be configured to illuminate or even blink to show the operator which bin they are supposed to use. Long operation is possible at up to 1.2m; and at only 10mm thick, installation will not obstruct picking operations.
Sunx CX-400 Photoelectric SensorsThe CX-400 series of photoelectric sensors is a wide-ranging lineup of 116 different models. Whatever your application entails, SUNX has covered it with this series. Built to IP-67 standards, the CX-400 series is designed for the most demanding environments.
