Rectangular Photoelectric Sensors

Rectangular photoelectric sensors are photoelectric sensors that combine optics and electronics in a rectangular prism-shaped housing and are usually attached to a flat surface or bracket with screws. They are used to detect objects where the sensor is mounted against a surface, such as a conveyor side plate, a packaging machine and a warehouse passage. This category includes diffuse reflective, background suppression, retroreflective and through-beam types, and a series with a plastic housing and M18 mounting size, from the Lanbao and Isıso brands. Example values include sensing distances of 30 cm and 2 m for diffuse reflective, 5 m and 12 m for retroreflective, and 20 m and 60 m for through-beam. First determine the sensing type suited to the object's surface and the background, then compare the distance, 10-30 V DC or wide-range AC/DC supply, output type and cable, connector or terminal connection. If you are looking for a sensor mounted by passing its threaded housing through a hole, see the cylindrical photoelectric sensors category.

How to choose Rectangular Photoelectric Sensors

Rectangular photoelectric sensors are photoelectric sensors that combine optics and electronics in a rectangular prism-shaped housing and are usually attached to a flat surface or bracket with screws. They are used to detect objects where the sensor is mounted against a surface, such as a conveyor side plate, a packaging machine and a warehouse passage.

  • Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
  • Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
  • Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
