Developed specifically for the detection of diffuse materials, OPB609 series reflective-object sensors are unfocused, suiting them for detection of paper, labels, or any material with a matte finish.

To choose the best photoelectric sensor for your application, you need to consider a number of criteria, including sensor configuration; environment; and the placement, nature, and speed of the target ...

Simply put, sensors are the eyes and ears of industrial automation. Regardless of the application, automation is simply not possible in today’s manufacturing process without sensors. There are many ...

What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).
