How do they work and where can I use them?
An OsiSense Photoelectric has a light beam transmitter (light-emitting diode, LED) and a light-sensitive receiver (photo-transistor). A light-emitting diode is an electronic semi-conductor component emitting light when electric current flows through it. The light can be visible or invisible, depending on the transmission wavelength.
An object is detected when it enters the transmitted light beam and, in so doing, affects the intensity of the light at the receiver.
Depending on the model and application requirements, the transmission beam is either non-visible infrared or ultraviolet (for detection of luminescent materials). It may also be a visible red or green (for colour mark reading etc.) and laser red (for long sensing distance and short focal length).
The advantage of LEDs is their very fast response. To render the system insensitive to ambient light, the current flowing through the LED is modulated to produce a pulsed light transmission. Only the pulsed signal will be used by the photo-transistor and processed to control the load.

Telemecanique Sensors Sensor Reflector, Round Shape, 80mm Diameter – OsiSense XU Series – XUZC80
Need to keep track of the movement of objects or equipment in your industrial workspace? Team this reflector with any photoelectric sensing module from Telemecanique Sensors. It bounces back a light beam sent from the transmitter unit to help give you an accurate picture of what’s going on in your system. Thanks to its 80mm diameter, the device is capable of working over long distances but small enough to fit neatly into confined spaces. Plus, at a super-light 30g, it won’t strain your setup.

What does a sensor reflector like this one do?
In short, it enables retroreflective sensing, a method for managing high-tech logistics. When paired with a photoelectric transmitter/receiver module, the reflector catches and returns a beam of electromagnetic radiation to create an invisible, unbroken field. If an object passes through that field, the beam is disrupted and the receiver interprets the altered intensity to report the presence, absence or distance of whatever you need to count.
