Results for tag: "Photoelectric Proximity Switch"

The Photoelectric Proximity Switch is a type of electrical switch used to detect the presence of an object. It is a non-contact switch, meaning it does not require physical contact with the object to detect it. The switch works by emitting a beam of light, usually infrared, which is then reflected off the object and detected by a receiver. When the object is detected, the switch is activated. Photoelectric Proximity Switches are used in a variety of applications, such as industrial automation, robotics, and security systems. They are often used in hazardous environments, as they are not affected by dust, dirt, or moisture. They are also used in applications where a high degree of accuracy is required, such as in automated assembly lines. Photoelectric Proximity Switches are available from a variety of manufacturers, including Omron, Panasonic, and Pepperl+Fuchs. They come in a range of sizes and shapes, and can be used with a variety of sensors, such as infrared, laser, and ultrasonic. Show Less Read more
