Proximity switch for non-contact detection of liquid as well as solid objects and bulk solids

• High switching distance up to 15 mm
• Detection through plastic walls
• Absolutely reliable even when interfered by ambient conditions, e.g. ambient light or dirt
• Objects such as wafers, PCBs, paper stacks, plastic containers or powders and granulates as well as liquids are perfectly detected 

Pepperl+Fuchs is a well-known manufacturer of industrial automation and sensor products, including proximity sensors. Proximity sensors are used in industrial applications to detect the presence or absence of objects and can be based on various technologies such as inductive, capacitive, ultrasonic, or photoelectric.

Quality industrial automation requires intelligent object detection. That’s where photoelectric sensors from SICK come in handy. Sometimes referred to as reflex array sensors, these reflectors use the principles of time-of-flight to provide superior detection. With a variety of different types like retro-reflective, proximity, and thru-beam, a photo eye sensor is a reliable solution for a range of detection applications and background suppression sensor applications.
Because there are so many different types of photoelectric sensors, it can be challenging to select the right one for your process. In addition, it can also be challenging to find the correct photoelectric switch to control the SICK photo sensors. Check out our guide to determine which photoelectric sensor may work best for your industrial manufacturing process.
