Along with the popular 18 mm round styles – we’ve also got 4mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, and 12 mm round barrel sensors. From a standard through-beam (plastic) sensor to a unique right-angle, background suppression diffuse sensor, AutomAtionDirect has a model to fit your needs.
• Metal or plastic housing • Diffuse, polarized retroreflective, through-beam, retroflective for transparent objects and background suppression models • Straight or unique right-angle optics • 3-wire and 4-wire outputs • NPN and PNP models • Normally open and normally closed (light or dark operation) models
The Most Popular Photoelectric Sensor Styles
A photoelectric sensor must suit your application, and must also be easy to install, simple to set up, and operate flaw-lessly. AutomAtionDirect understands these needs and offers products that solve your application problems: • Unique right-angle mounting sensors. We offer a right-angle sensor that a nut will fit directly over. Our competitors don’t offer a product that’s so easy to use. This technology will save you time and headaches during installation. • IP67 & IP69K ratings. All of our sensors are watertight and some are designed to with- stand the harsh conditions of washdown applications in food and beverage industries. Either way since you won’t have to swap sensors out constantly you will ultimately save money. • Metal or plastic sensors. Plastic sensors are great for corrosion resistance, while metal sensors are rugged and can absorb more punishment. We offer both. • Alignment LEDs. With onboard indicators, our sensors simplify installation to save you time and money.
We are so confident of our sensors’ quality, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you don’t like them.
• RGB or white-light • Wide sensing ranges• High switching frequencies (up to 50khz)• Class 1 and 2 lasers available• PNP or NPN outputs
Rectangular sensors are available as AC or DC-powered models, in varying sizes and sensing styles, including diffuse with background suppression, diffuse, retroreflective, retroreflective for transparent objects and through-beam.
How do these sensors benefit me?Everybody wants to know how a particular product will help them. With AutomAtionDirect photoelectric sensors, you benefit from:
• Approximately 2-to-1 list pricing com-pared to the competition. This allows OEM-like pricing on single item purchases.
• Rectangular formats that provide mount-ing holes directly into the sensor. This eliminates the need for mounting plates and allows for easier installation.
• Quick-disconnect cable versions avail-able for all sensors. The Q/D sensors make for fast and easy replacement. Troubleshooting is also much faster with Q/D devices as the user need only unscrew the connector and change out the sensor. This eliminates the need for disconnecting wires and cutting wire ties, thus speeding up the replacement process with much less room for error.
• Electrical protection against short circuit, reverse polarity, and transient noise. Even if the sensor is initially wired wrong, or wired into a noisy environment, the sen-sor will still operate properly.
• 30-day, money-back guarantee. Nothing else needs to be said. If you are not satis-fied with the performance of your sensor, just send it back.
What type of photoelectric sensor is best for me?
· Most accurate · Longest sensing range· Very reliable
· Must install at two points on system: emitter and receiver· Costly - must purchase both emitter and receiver
· Cost less than through-beam· Only slightly less accurate than through-beam· Sensing range better than diffuse· Very reliable
· Must install at two points on system: sensor and reflector· Slightly more costly than diffuse· Sensing range less than through-beam
· Only install at one point· Cost less than through- beam or reflective
· Less accurate than through- beam or reflective· More setup time involved
· Effective with reflective backgrounds
· Cost more than diffuse, reflective or through-beam· Most setup time required

Type Advantages Disadvantages
There are many different styles of photoelectric sensors, but really only four basic technologies: through-beam, reflective, diffuse, and background suppression. The chart describes some advantages and disadvantages of each technology.
• Micro (12mm) and pico (8mm) Q/D sizes from 2m to 15m
• Extension cables for quick-disconnect sensors
• LED sensor cables for signal confirmation
• Round and rectangular reflectors in many sizes • Photoelectric shutters that focus your photoelectric sensor on small targets• Right-angle adapters for special mounting applications
