Diffuse Photo Sensor

Photo Sensors- Diffuse Mode The PS line of Photo Sensors comes in several models making it easy to select the right sensor for your application.  Diffuse Sensors are a great choice for detecting parts or error-proofing. These can save space since no reflector or receiver is needed. These are easier to install than through-beam sensors or retro reflective sensors.  Diffuse Photo sensors have a receiver and emitter built into a single sensor head. A beam of light is transmitted from the emitter to the object being sensed and bounces back to the Receiver. This changes the state of the switch in the sensor. If no object is present the light continues onward and the sensor is not triggered.  The switch can be changed from Normally Open to Normally Closed with an adjustment screw located on the top of the sensor.  Choose from two beam diameter options.  The standard beam sensor is better for larger and porous objects and the micro-beam sensor is best for smaller objects or precise position
