Laser photoelectric sensors are often used in demanding applications requiring the ability to detect small parts, high switching speeds or longer sensing distances.
The highly visible red laser emission is ideal for alignment in long-range applications, as well as precision detection in short-range applications.
There are two main types of lasers used in sensors for detection: Class I and Class II lasers.
Class I laser sensors are economical and provide maximum protection against eye damage if exposure occurs for prolonged periods of time. No precaution identification is required.
The Class II laser sensors offers maximum precision and greater sensing distances, requiring some safety precautions in areas that can be reflected or directed to a person’s eye. A laser precaution sticker should be used when using a Class II laser sensor.
