Photoelectric sensor
Photoelectric sensors are classified according to their detection method into through-beam, retroreflective, diffuse‑reflection, and BGS diffuse‑reflection types, among others.
Characteristic
Photoelectric sensors are classified according to their detection method into through-beam, retroreflective, diffuse‑reflection, and BGS diffuse‑reflection types, among others.
- Through-beam sensors detect the presence or absence of opaque objects by interrupting the light beam between the transmitter and receiver; they offer high stability and long detection ranges.
- Mirror‑type photoelectric sensor: Detects the presence or absence of an object by interrupting the light beam between the sensor and a reflector, enabling the detection of transparent objects.
- Diffuse reflection sensors detect the presence or absence of an object by reflecting the sensor’s light beam back to the sensor when the object obstructs the beam. Conventional diffuse reflection is sensitive to the object’s color, which can affect the sensing distance, whereas BGS diffuse reflection is much less influenced by the object’s color.
