View your reflection or deflect beams from safety barrier switches for a perimeter around machinery. Choose from our selection of through beam sensors, including photoelectric …

Through-beam photoelectric sensors consist of an emitter and a receiver in separate housings. The emitter sends a beam of light to the receiver, which determines a target is present when …

Thru-beam sensing is the most efficient sensing mode which results in the longest sensing ranges and highest excess gain. This high gain enables through-beam sensors to be reliably used in …

Aug 9, 2025 · Through-beam sensors consist of two separate components: a transmitter and a receiver. The beam travels from the transmitter to the receiver, and when an object blocks the …

An Area Sensor is a Through-beam Sensor which consists of a pair of Emitter and Receiver with multiple beams. Select the sensing width of the Sensor to fit the application.
