The reflective properties of plastic make it a notorious offender in this regard. The problem even extends to those objects covered in shrink wrap. Polarizing filters help block false readings from ...

Proximity sensors are common enough in automation projects that we hardly give them a second thought — pick something with specs that match the job and move on. But they can be fussy to get adjusted ...

[Sebastian Steppeler] has been hard at work on his optical sensors for an electric piano. When we looked in on the project back in October he was testing reflective sensors to increase responsiveness ...

The EQ-34-PN-J is a photoelectric sensor with adjustable range reflective and PNP open collector by Panasonic. The device has a minimum operating supply voltage of 10 VDC. The device hardly gets ...

When you’re designing miniature optical switches, reflective sensors are your best friend. They streamline the interaction between humans and machines in an elegant and intuitive manner. These sensors ...

Marktech Optoelectronics has announced the expansion of its surface-mount family of SWIR reflective sensors. The sensors are suitable for position sensing and detection applications, including card, ...

With a specified resolution of better than 0.01", the OTBC line of reflective mark sensors are suitable for use in a range of applications from bar-code slot readers to currency validation equipment.

Capable of integrating infrared, visible light, or VSCEL sensing capabilities in a single package, the OPB608 series reflective sensors can detect objects at distances up to 2". Each component in the ...

These light barriers create a closed light beam between the sensor and machine part. A separate reflector is unnecessary, reducing operating costs and increasing process safety. SmartReflect light ...

Leuze has introduced a broad range of stainless steel optical detectors for the food industry. “The devices are designed for reliable operation in wet areas and during intensive cleaning processes and ...
