Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor
A through-beam photoelectric sensor is a type of sensor that uses light to detect the presence or absence of an object. It consists of two main components: a transmitter and a receiver.
- Transmitter: Emits a beam of light.
- Receiver: Detects the light beam reflected back from the object.
When an object passes through the beam of light, some of the light is reflected back to the receiver. This change in light intensity triggers a signal, indicating the presence of the object.
