Optical sensors use light in various forms to perform their detection tasks. An extensive product line is available with reliable and efficient sensor solutions for all applications that can be solved optically. Object detection for different surfaces, object sizes and colors requires various function principles, such as a throughbeam photoelectric sensor, a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor or a diffuse reflection sensor. All different operating principles are usually available in a given series (size). Universal series are also available with extended models and additional useful functions.

Advantages of Optical Sensors

• The most powerful throughbeam photoelectric sensor on the market can transilluminate any type of packaging film and reliably detect objects inside
• Both the transmitter power and the receiver sensitivity can be adjusted quickly and intuitively via potentiometers
• The robust housing has degrees of protection IP67 and IP69K. It has been ECOLAB-certified for use in harsh environments where frequent cleaning is necessary.
• For metalized and extremely strongly absorbing films, there is the even more powerful LS25CI.XX super power transmitter model that does not require any adjustment.
• The used infrared light is harmless and eye-safe
