Through-beam photoelectric sensors consist of an emitter and a receiver in separate housings. The emitter sends a beam of light to the receiver, which determines a target is present when the beam is interrupted. These sensors offer the longest sensing distances but require precise alignment.

Through-Beam Sensors
Category Selection
Through-beam photoelectric sensors have an emitter and a receiver housed separately. The emitter sends a beam of light to the receiver, which detects a target when the beam is blocked. These sensors provide the longest sensing distances and high reliability but require precise alignment for proper operation.
