- Photoelectric slot sensors offer vast installation benefits thanks to their housing design. When it comes to operation, these new generation devices boast features such as high resolution, high repeatability, automatic signal threshold adjustment, ambient light resistance, and detection of and/or light transmission through transparent objects. Cross-talk protection enables parallel installation of devices despite extremely high switching frequency. These characteristics guarantee reliable detection of small parts, from 0.3 mm, across the entire detection range, even in very fast moving applications. - 1 Functional display red 2 Light-/dark switch 3 Sensitivity adjuster Refer to “General Notes Relating to Pepperl+Fuchs Product Information”.

The transmitter sends signals directly to the receiver. If an object breaks the light beam, the switching element function is triggered. The special U-shaped design means the transmitter and receiver can be accommodated in one housing, which ensures high resistance to vibrations. In contrast to standard thru-beam sensors, photoelectric slot sensors have the added advantage of not requiring complex electrical installation, as only one device needs to be connected. Also, adjustment of the optical axes is not necessary.
