A photoelectric sensor is a type of switch that is turned off and on by the presence or absence of received light. The inherent advantages of such a "non-contact" switch have resulted in widespread application throughout the industrial world.
Deciding which sensor to purchase and selecting the right one for your application can be a confusing task.
Learn how to select the right photoelectric sensor
The successful application of the sensors depends on the selection of the appropriate mode of detection for the application.
