Photoelectric
Photoelectric sensors use light to find out if an object is present, missing, or how far away it is. The main types are through-beam, retro-reflective, and diffuse sensors, which help in various industrial tasks by detecting objects or materials in different ways.
When choosing photoelectric sensors, it's important to think about where the sensor will be placed and the size of the objects you want to detect. You should also consider the environment, like temperature and dust, to make sure the sensor works well in that setting.
