Photoelectric Switches

Photoelectric switches, also known as photoelectric sensors, are mainly used in industrial manufacturing. According to the structure, the photoelectric switch can be divided into three types: amplifier separation type, amplifier built-in type and power supply built-in type.

Independent photosensors contain optical components and electronic components. It requires only one power supply. The sensor performs its own modulation, demodulation, amplification and output switching. Some independent sensors offer options such as built-in control timers or counters. Due to advances in technology, self-contained photoelectric sensors are becoming smaller and smaller.

Remote photosensors for remote sensing contain only the optical components of the sensor. The circuits for power input, amplification and output switching are located elsewhere, usually in the control panel. This allows the sensor itself to be very small. In addition, sensor control is easier because they may be larger.

Fiber can be used when space is limited or the environment is too harsh for remote sensors. The fiber is a passive mechanical sensing element. They can be used with remote or stand-alone sensors. They have no circuitry, no moving parts, and can safely input and output light pipes into harsh environments.

Can the photoelectric switch be recycled?
Yes. Photoelectric switches are part of electronic components. is a experts to recycle electronic components inventory. Please feel free to contact us if you have photoelectric switches to be sold.
