The Best Sensors for the Food and Beverage Industry

Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors

When we bite into a sandwich or drink a glass of milk, we assume that our food was properly processed. To ensure that this is the case, many food and beverage facilities take extra precautions in packaging their products and maintaining a clean facility environment. One way they do so is by employing sensors—specifically photoelectric… Read more »

An Overview on Cubic Photoelectric Sensors

Cubic Photoelectric Sensors

Cubic photoelectric sensors are one of the many types of photoelectric sensors available on the market. While their housing dimensions are what most obviously set them apart from other types of photoelectric sensors, their shape also makes them uniquely suited to certain applications.  Here we go through everything you need to know about cubic photoelectric… Read more »

New Photoelectric Sensors Reliably Detect Transparent Objects

Conventional photoelectric sensors are great at detecting fast-moving reflective objects, which makes them ideal for packaging operations that must count and sort thousands of items a day. Depending on the target material and composition, detecting transparent objects like glass and plastic bottles may pose a challenge. This is because transparent objects absorb very little visible… Read more »
