Pepperl+Fusch SLA29/116 Safety thru-beam sensor
Product Description:
- A Safety Thru-Beam Sensor is a type of safety sensor that operates by emitting a beam of light (usually infrared) from a transmitter to a receiver.
- The sensor detects the interruption of this beam, triggering a safety response, such as stopping machinery or activating an alarm.
- These sensors are commonly used in industrial applications to create invisible safety barriers that protect workers from hazardous areas or moving machinery.
- A safety thru-beam sensor, also known as a safety through-beam photoelectric sensor, is a type of sensor commonly use in industrial and manufacturing environments to detect the presence or absence of objects, safeguard personnel, and ensure safety in automated processes.
- These sensors are design with specific safety features to help prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace.
- A safety thru-beam sensor consists of two main components: a transmitter and a receiver.
- These components are positioned opposite each other, typically with a gap between them.
- The transmitter emits a focused light beam, usually in the form of infrared or visible light.
