We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Photoelectric Switch",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Laser sensors cover a wide range of applications from
Sick (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "The new W190 range of laser sensors covers a wide range of applications, from the simple to the most demanding".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Photoswitch shrinks into M12 housing from
Sick (UK): "Erwin Sick has released its latest range of V12 photoelectric switches, all redesigned and rehoused in cylindrical M12 housings".
In July 2003, we covered the news from Sick (UK)
concerning its L4000
- take a look at Maximum safety for minimum cost
which says: "The L4000 safety photoelectric switch system is a low-cost, Type 4, noncontact safety device that meets the requirements of IEC61 496".
Take a look also at the news release from Idec Electronics, Compact photoelectric switch is budget alternative,
as well as Turn almost any small object into a prox sensor from Quantum Research Group,
and Photoelectric switches offer huge ranges from Sick (UK).
