Non-contact detection
Detects an object without contact. Non-contact sensing ensures longer life for the sensor and absolutely no damage to the object.
Long sensing range
The thru-beam type with a maximum sensing range of 50 m 164.042 ft (RX-M50), and the diffuse reflective type with a maximum sensing range of 5 m 16.404 ft (PX-26) are available. The long sensing range make the sensors suitable for a variety of applications.
Various objects detectable
The sensors can detect objects of any material provided they affect the optical beam.
Short response time
The use of an optical beam for detection and complete electronic circuitry makes the sensors respond so quickly that they can be easily used on a high-speed production line.

Color identification
This is a special feature of photoelectric sensors, which use light for detection. Since the reflection and the absorption characteristics vary with the object color for a specified incident optical wavelength, various colors can be detected as the difference in optical intensity.
High accuracy detection
Advanced optical system and electronic circuit technology have achieved a sensing accuracy of up to 20 μm 0.787 mil (SH-82R).
* | Photoelectric sensors have the drawback that if the lens surface is covered with dust or dirt and light transmission is obstructed, detection may not be possible. |
