Sensor Technology Overview Photoelectrics Photoelectric sensors emit a beam of light that detects the presence or absence of objects. When this emitted light beam is interrupted or reflected by an object, the change in light patterns is measured by a receiver and the target object or surface is recognized. Photoelectric sensors can detect most target materials including shiny, dark, clear, or multicolored. With some of the fastest response times of any sensing technology and many different sensing modes available, photoelectric sensors fit many different applications and are very common in...

Choosing a Banner Fiber Optic Amplifier Choosing a Banner Fiber Optic Cable A fiber optic cable is needed to complete the system. There are a few considerations to make when choosing a fiber optic cable including the type of fiber, the sensing mode, and the sensing head. Red, Green, Blue, White, Infrared • Analog output • Water detection Red, Infrared, Long Infrared Sensing Mode As with photoelectrics, fibers have different sensing modes too, depending on the needs of the application. Opposed fibers will have longer sensing ranges and higher excess gain and can be used in applications like...

Measuring Arrays Measuring arrays consist of many opposed pairs of photoelectric sensors in a long housing. A measurement can be found by accounting for the number of beams being blocked. Useful in product dimensioning, hole sizing, or edge tracking applications. Detection Arrays Detection arrays cover a wider area than a single point sensor to detect the presence of a target that may not be presented at a consistent location. These are commonly used in material handling applications for leading edge detection. object width Edge Measurement Sensor The EG24 is an edge measurement sensor...

Slot Sensors Color Sensors A color sensor is a photoelectric sensor that can differentiate the color of a target. These are commonly used in quality and verification applications. Slot sensors detect objects that pass between two arms—one with the emitter and the other with the receiver. The fixed slot width provides reliable opposed-mode sensing of objects as small as 0.30 mm. This makes slot sensors ideal for counting, sensing parts on conveyor rails and belts, detecting edges, and other applications.

Banner Helps You Get the Most from Your Sensors Complementary Products Triangulation sensors measure the distance to a target based on the angle that the emitted beam reflects back to the receiver. This type of sensor can be very accurate close to the sensor but performance can degrade as the distance increases. Remote I/O Remote I/O products optimize control system performance and simplify system design for machine builders and controls engineers. Typically, I/O blocks reduce wiring and feature onboard diagnostic LEDs, and reduce the costs of installation, integration, and maintenance....
