Photoelectric Sensor | Diffuse & Distance Suppliers in Hobart

Automation now dominates most aspects of commercial and industrial life. Robots have become the people manning production lines and programmable logic controllers have become the supervisors masterminding the robots.

Where once a human used eyes and a clipboard to monitor the movement of products along a conveyor belt, beams of light from photoelectric sensors now perform the same function without the need for food, smoko breaks, or sleep.

Where once doors were opened for ladies by gentlemen, photoelectric sensors now do the deed long before chivalry can get close.

Such is the world we live in and businesses simply have to embrace this new technology to stay competitive. And while photoelectric sensors might be at the cheaper end of the technological revolution, they are, quite literally, a ray of light for all kinds of commercial and industrial operations.

Photoelectric sensors use light to detect objects or determine if they’re where they’re expected to be or are missing. Photoelectric sensors are used on production lines, automatic doors and also have a wide range of applications in the transport industry.
