Long Range Through Beam Photoelectric Sensor

The lubricants present in stamping dies create problems for photosensors.  Droplets of lube can deflect sensing beams, and the film of dirty oil that forms on almost everything can affect sensors to the point where they will no longer operate. There are two important criteria when selecting photoelectric sensors for in-die use: Use a sensor with an infrared beam that will shine through (rather than be deflected by) droplets of oil. Use a through beam photoelectric sensor with enough power to overcome a dirty environment.  In other words, select a sensor with more range than you need. This through beam photoelectric sensor covers both.  It features an infrared light source and an astounding 30 meter range that will enable it to operate in the dirtiest environments.   Specifications Maximum sensing distance 30 m Standard sensing object Opaque: 12-mm dia. min.
