Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric sensors use separate emitter and receiver units positioned opposite each other. The emitter continuously transmits a light beam towards the receiver, and objects are detected when they interrupt this beam. This sensing method provides reliable performance over long distances and is less affected by target colour, shape or material.
The Carlo Gavazzi PMT20I provides a dependable long-range sensing solution for industrial systems where accurate object detection and robust mechanical installation are required. Its 20 m operating distance and threaded housing make it suitable for a wide range of automation and machine-building applications.
