Our photosensors are used for measuring the presence, position, form and thickness of objects in robotics, automation, mounting etc. 
Typical applications are recognition and numeration of objects, tool positioning, recognition of failures or fissures, stack height monitoring, filling level control, detection of markers, etc.

• The photosensors of Sensorik Austria dispose of maximum light intensity for maximum sensing range or dirt tolerance!
• Because of the specific focussing technique our sensors have a very robust signalling characteristic!
• Combined with special glasfibre optics up to 25 meters length the sensors can bear even roughest environmental conditions!
  

Photosensors, also named optoelectronic sensors, dispose of lots of advantages that qualify them for various applications: they work touchless, residuefreee, may cover great distances and are independent from materials. They are long lasting, know virtually no abrasion and produce bouncefree signals. Photosensors are generally easy to install and need to elaborate adjustment or teaching.

Reflected light sensor:	Light barrier:
The sender continually emits chopped light  signals, if a signal meets an object that  physically has the attribute to reflect light it is  thrown back to the receptor. The receiver  captures the light signal and transforms it  into an electric signal – the circuit gets closed.	While in reflected light sensors emitter and  receiver are integrated in a single device,  these are separated units when it comes to  light barriers. If an object disrupts the light  signal between the emitter and the receiver  the later gets switched.
