Photoelectric Sensor Design Avoids Separate Reflector/Receiver

March 21, 2012 By Randy Frank

Claiming the first photoelectric light barrier to operate without a separate reflector or receiver, Baumer’s SmartReflect light barriers have several features.  The devices create a closed light beam between the sensor and any background for reliable detection of target objects regardless of color, shape, transparency or surface texture. Substitution of any machine part in the […]
