Application scenario of photoelectric sensor

In modern industrialized society, all automated production almost needs the existence of sensors, so that some machines to replace manual, unmanned operation. Among them, photoelectric sensor is very reliable because of its fast reaction speed, high precision, high resolution and non-contact measurement. And the photoelectric sensor has the advantages of small size, light weight, low power consumption, easy integration, etc. It is one of the most widely used sensors in the current output, widely used in military, aerospace, communications, smart home, intelligent transportation, security, LED lighting, toys, detection and industrial automation control and other fields.

The types of photoelectric sensors can be divided into reflector type, specular reflection type and diffuse reflection type.

Photoelectric sensor features:

1.The detection distance is far

For example, Heinxs PG8 series long-range reflector photoelectric sensor, its detection distance can reach 50m, the detection distance is beyond other detection methods (magnetic force, ultrasonic, etc.);

2.Fewer restrictions on detecting objects

Unlike the proximity sensor, which can only detect metal objects, the detection principle of the photoelectric sensor is to block light through the detection object, so most objects such as glass, wood, liquid, rubber can be detected;

3.The response time is short

The light itself travels at a very high speed, and the required response time is very short except for the machine action time required for the electronic components of the architecture sensor circuit;

4.Higher resolution

The high-level design technology allows the beam to be changed into smaller points of light, and because the photoelectric sensor uses a special light-receiving optical system structure, it can achieve high resolution goals. In this way, even small object detection or position detection requiring high accuracy can be easily solved;

5.Detection in a non-contact manner, without damaging the workpiece at the same time, the sensor has a longer service life.

From the vast space, to the vast ocean, from a variety of complex engineering systems, to the clothing, food, housing and transportation of daily life, almost every modernization project is inseparable from a variety of sensors! As one of the leading sensor companies in China, Shenwu Sensor will continue to maintain a rigorous, professional and enthusiastic service attitude to help the vigorous development of China's manufacturing industry.
