Infrared LED light source provides long-range sensing in either Beam Make or Beam Break modes. Type F1 adapts sensor to any standard fiber optic light guide with. This also allows for faster response times compared to other sensors. A wide variety of target materials can be detected including metal, glass, plastic, wood, and even liquid. SMARTEYE® Light Sources and Receivers have been designed to perform Beam Break or thru-beam sensing tasks where the material or container is dense, the lens is subject to contamination buildup, or for long range sensing in harsh environments. The emitter sends a beam of light to the receiver, which determines a target is present when the beam is interrupted. Through-beam sensors from Balluff serve to detect objects reliably, regardless of surface, color, material - even with a heavy gloss finish. When an object interrupts the light beam, this causes a change in the. Infrared LED Through Beam Fiber Optic Sensors are available at Mouser Electronics.
