What are the types of Omron Photoelectric Sensors?
Photoelectric Sensors detect photo-optical workpieces. OMRON provides many varieties of sensors, including diffuse-reflective, through-beam, retro-reflective, and distance-settable Sensors, as well as Sensors with either built-in or separate amplifiers.
Types of Photoelectric Sensors
Seperate Amplifier
With these Photoelectric Sensors, the Amplifier and Sensor Head are separated to enable downsizing and facilitate adjustment.
Ideal for Applications That Cannot Be Handled with Fiber Sensors or Photoelectric Sensors
High precision laser sensor with separate amplifier
The separate amplifier laser sensors feature a comprehensive range of sensing heads with variable spot and advanced CMOS sensing heads for high precision positioning and demanding applications.
- High detection stability independent from color or surface structure
- Lens attachments for line beam applications
- Easy installation due to adjustable focus and smart tune functions
- Sensor heads with up to 1.2 m sensing distance cover a wide range of applications
- High speed network connectivity to EtherCat fieldbus
Variable Laser Beam for Spot, Line, or Area Detection
Thin, Compact Head Saves Space and Mounts Closely. Built-in Interference Protection Provided.
Built-in Amplifier
With these Photoelectric Sensors, the amplifier is built into the Sensor Head.
