Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric systems use separate emitter and receiver units positioned opposite each other. The emitter transmits an optical beam towards the receiver, and interruption of this beam by an object or person is detected by the receiver. This arrangement provides reliable long-range sensing and makes through-beam technology particularly suitable for monitoring openings, access points and automated equipment.
The Carlo Gavazzi PD70CNT12NO forms the receiving side of a PD70 through-beam sensing system. Its 12 m range, NPN normally open output, compact construction and IP67 protection make it well suited to automatic doors, gates and industrial machinery where dependable non-contact detection is required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automatic doors and gates.
- Garage and access-control door systems.
- Doorway presence and obstruction detection.
- Industrial machine openings and access points.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated entrance and closing systems.
- OEM machinery requiring long-range through-beam detection.
