Retro-Reflex Sensor
2. For Your Safety
2.1 Use for Intended Purpose
The product is based on the following functional principle:
Retro-reflex sensor with light band
The retro-reflex sensor with light band scans a significantly larger range than a retro-reflex sensor with a
dot-shaped spot. As a result it’s ideally suited for the reliable detection of objects with irregular shapes or
varying sizes, for example polybags. The light barrier’s light band is nearly collimated, making it very precise
and homogenous. The sensor has a very small blind spot and detects objects as of emitter beam overlap of 4
mm within the overall range of detection.
It’s compact design permit installation in extremely small spaces, for
example on the side panels of a conveyor system.
