Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses a separate emitter and receiver positioned opposite each other. The emitter generates a continuous optical beam towards the receiver, allowing the sensing system to detect when an object interrupts the beam. This arrangement provides long sensing distances and dependable detection for access control, machine automation and safety-related applications.
The Carlo Gavazzi PB18CNT15 combines a long 15 m sensing range with modulated infrared technology and an IP67 housing. Its compact cylindrical construction and wide DC supply range make it particularly suitable for integration into automatic doors, gates and industrial machinery where reliable optical detection is required.
Typical Applications
- Automatic door safety-edge sensing systems.
- Industrial automatic gates and access systems.
- Machine guarding and presence detection.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Industrial object detection systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
