photoelectric sensor working
A photoelectric sensor is a kind of device that converts light into an electrical signal. By emitting a beam of light from a light source, it then travels to a receiver.When an object moves through the light beam, it cuts off the signal and sensor can send out a signal to contain information. The main functions of photoelectric sensors include detecting the presence or absence of objects, measuring distances to objects, and counting or sorting items in various applications. These sensors are available with high precision, reliability, ruggedness and immunity to harsh environments. They find wide application in industrial automation, robotics and other areas, such as the packaging industry, where they are used for tasks like sensing the position of parts counting products and ensuring equipment works safely.
