Photoelectric sensors

Impressive specialist sensors that check for presence, shape, colour, distance and thickness

Optoelectronic sensors

Photoelectric sensors check presence, shape, colour, distance, and thickness - optimised for robotics, automation, assembly, and handling. They are real experts with various strengths: detecting and counting parts, monitoring stack heights, through-glass detection, aligning small parts, detecting marks, fill level detection, and much more!

The wide Balluff spectrum offers every light type, whether red light, infrared, blue light or laser technology, in different ranges. With and without background suppression. Various designs – also in mini version – ensure a wide variety of possible applications. Our photoelectric sensors are optimized for robotics, automation, installation and handling.

Benefits

  • Part recognition and counting
  • Stack height monitoring
  • Detection through glass
  • Small parts detection
  • Brand recognition
  • Fill level detection and much more

To the application

Diffuse sensors

  • Ideal for detecting contrast differences – dependent upon surface, color and material
  • For diffuse sensors with background suppression: reliable object detection with different ranges, virtually independent of surface, color and material
  • Cost-effective and easy to mount and align thanks to highly visible light beam
  • Shorter ranges compared to retro-reflective and through-beam sensors
  • Mounting includes only one electrical device
  • Light scanners with blue light for perfect detection of objects that are difficult to recognize

Retroreflective sensors

  • Simple alignment thanks to generous mounting tolerances
  • Large reflectors for high ranges
  • Reliable detection – regardless of surface, color, and material
  • Also with a pole filter suitable for detecting shiny objects
  • Mounting includes only one electrical device plus reflector

Through-beam sensors

  • Ideal for positioning tasks thanks to excellent reproducibility
  • Extremely resistant to contamination and has a large functional reserve
  • Ideally suited for large operating ranges
  • Transmitter and receiver in separate housings

Fork sensors and angle sensors

  • Different light types (red light, infrared, laser)

Color sensors

  • High switching frequency
  • With or without display
  • Robust and industrial grade
  • Variants in small housing for space-saving installation
  • Depending on type, large operating ranges of up to 400 mm thanks to a strong white light
  • Optionally with IO-Link interface for simple parameterization
  • Differentiation between any number of objects
  • Very high color resolution
  • Application-specific parameterization

Contrast sensors

  • Pinpoint accurate switching for fast processes with a high switching frequency of up to 30 kHz
