Telemecanique Photoelectric Sensors
Telemecanique photoelectric sensors are rugged, reliable industrial devices used for non-contact detection of objects, packages, and targets. As part of Schneider Electric's industrial automation range, Telemecanique photoelectric sensors are a trusted choice for reliable object sensing in automated machinery, conveyors, counting, packaging, and material handling. These sensors provide precise, repeatable object presence or position feedback in harsh industrial conditions. A wide selection of Telemecanique photoelectric types are available (through-beam, retroreflective, diffuse, etc) to suit your sensing distance, target material, and mounting space requirements.
High-quality design enables stable sensing of different target colors, reflectivities, textures or transparencies in ambient factory lighting. Standard or high-performance Telemecanique photoelectric sensors feature industry-standard outputs for easy installation and integration into control systems. Fast response times enable use in high-speed automation for counting, positioning, jam detection and more. Telemecanique photoelectric sensors offer robust, dust-tight housings for use in dirty, wet, or demanding applications. They help to minimize false triggers, machine downtime, and provide long service life in automated control systems.
FAQs
What are Telemecanique photoelectric sensors used for?
