Eaton Enhanced 50 Series photoelectric sensors are ideal for accurate positioning of objects while enhancing efficiency and providing reliable object detection. They are used in manufacturing, packaging, material handling and automation processes. These sensors are equipped with a 3A single-pole double-throw (SPDT) relay for electrical isolation between the control circuit and the switched circuit. They allow various logic options such as ON-delay, OFF-delay, ON / OFF-delay and one-shot delay for quick operation. All units offer the option to select between light and dark modes for ease of operation in day and ligh time. They feature fully potted construction, ensuring durability in environments prone to washdown, high shock and vibration. These sensors come included with a ball swivel and offer adaptable mounting solutions.
Eaton 50 Series photoelectric sensors feature adjustable sensitivity of the sensor for enhanced accuracy and performance. They are equipped with brackets for easy mounting and precise adjustment of sensor alignment.
The brand's 70 Series photoelectric sensors offer fast response time and high resolution that enables the detection of very small objects and their precise position. They detect objects without physical contact, thereby eliminating the risk of damage to sensing objects and ensuring extended sensor service life.
Eaton 80 Series photoelectric sensor switch bodies are equipped with 9 sensor heads, 3 logic modules and 7 control base units to customise the sensor according to the application. They come included with LED indicators providing easy visual feedback about the sensor's performance.
Working Mechanism
These photoelectric sensors utilise a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photodetector to transmit and receive a light beam.
The LED emits a beam of light which illuminates the photodetector located on the opposite side of the sensing area.
When an object blocks the light beam in the sensing area, the photodetector cannot detect light.
The photodetector determines the presence or absence of an object by analysing variations in light intensity caused by the obstruction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between photoelectric sensors and proximity sensors?
Photoelectric sensors utilise light beams to detect objects, while proximity sensors employ capacitive fields or electromagnetic fields to detect the presence of objects.
How to install Eaton 80 Series photoelectric sensor switch bodies?
Determine the appropriate mounting location for the switch body based on the application requirements and environmental conditions.
Install the mounting bracket securely using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure that the bracket is firmly attached to the chosen surface to support the weight of the sensor body.
Connect the sensor head to the switch body using the supplied connector cable.
Ensure the connection is secure, properly aligned and tightened to prevent any issues during operation.
