Through-beam sensors
Turck Through-beam sensors
In a through-beam sensor, emitter and receiver face each other; when an object interrupts the light beam, the output switches. As the light crosses the distance only once and does not have to be reflected, the excess gain is at its highest – this design achieves the longest ranges and is the least troubled by dust, mist, dark or shiny objects. Turck supplies emitter and receiver separately so that spare parts and cable routing can be planned independently. The range runs from miniature housings for mounting plates to metal versions with IP69K for the food industry, with red or infrared light, lasers for small objects and versions with adjustable sensitivity.
