What types of photoelectric sensors are available in Allen-Bradley range?

+

Common types include through-beam, retro-reflective, and diffuse sensors, each suitable for different sensing distances and object detection needs.

What is the sensing range of Allen-Bradley photoelectric sensors?

+

Sensing range varies by type—through-beam sensors offer the longest range (up to several meters), while diffuse sensors have shorter detection distances.

What is the difference between through-beam, retro-reflective, and diffuse sensors?

+

Through-beam uses a separate transmitter and receiver for long distances, retro-reflective uses a reflector, and diffuse sensors detect objects based on reflected light from the target.

What output types are available in Allen-Bradley photoelectric sensors?

+

They are available with PNP, NPN, and sometimes analog outputs depending on the application requirements.
