High-precision polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensors for transparent object detection utilize 640nm red light with a polarized filter structure, achieving an effective detection range of up to 2 meters. The retro-reflective sensors support multiple output modes including NPN NO/NC, PNP NO/NC easily switchable via a white line. Green and yellow LED indicators provide power and operational status alerts respectively, enabling users to quickly assess sensor functionality.
Note: The above list includes only some of the detectable objects.
The polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensor is a type of photoelectric sensor that detects objects using polarized light technology and a specialized reflector. It emits red light or laser light with a specific polarization direction, which is then reflected back to the receiver in the same direction via a reflector equipped with a polarizing film. When an object enters the optical path and alters the light's polarization state, the receiver fails to recognize the original polarized light, thereby detecting the object's presence.
The retro-reflective photo sensor's transmitter emits linearly polarized light. The light passes through the reflector and returns to the receiver, forming a stable optical path. If an object obstructs the path or alters the polarization direction (e.g., refraction by transparent objects or scattering by reflective surfaces), the receiver fails to recognize the original polarization, triggering an action signal.
The primary advantages of polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensors include:
