The SUCH photoelectric distance sensor offers precise detection within a 1-30cm range, using a visible red LED light source for clear visibility. Featuring multiple protection mechanisms, it ensures both the distance sensor and connected equipment remain safe during operation. Its durable PC housing, high-transmission optical filter, and IP65 protection rating ensure reliability even in challenging environments, while flexible NPN/PNP output options make it versatile for various applications.
A photoelectric distance sensor is a device that uses photoelectric technology to measure the distance between the sensor and an object. It works by emitting a light beam (often infrared) towards an object, and measuring the time it takes for the reflected light to return to the sensor. This time is then converted into a distance measurement.
Photoelectric distance sensors use the principle of light reflection. The sensor emits a light pulse, and when the pulse hits an object, it reflects back to the sensor. The sensor then calculates the distance based on the time it takes for the pulse to return.
Yes, most industrial-grade photoelectric distance sensors can be used outdoors, but you should ensure that the sensor is rated for outdoor use (IP67 or higher) and that there is no direct exposure to extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or extreme temperatures. Always check the product’s environmental rating.
