Working Principle
This diffused photoelectric beam sensors consist of a transmitter and a receiver together. These beam sensors look alike Inductive Proximity Sensors and hence also known as IR Proximity Sensors. The emitter emits Infra red rays which are reflected on the receiver through the object to be registered. In the use of these photoelectric beam sensors, it is important to bear in mind the colour of the object. Light colour corresponds to the maximum distance and vice versa. In case of shiny object; the effect of surface of object is more important than the colour.
Advantages
Transmitter and receiver are housed in the same housing.
As the self reflection of an object is used for detection; Dark & Light marks can be distinguished.
Field of application
These beam sensors are particularly used for position sensing and counting of non metallic objects. It is also used for Bottle sensing, Level sensing, Height sensing Plastic film sensing Edge detection of paper or sheet metal etc.
