The optoelectronics behind factory automation
Factory automation is reshaping industries by enhancing precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Central to this transformation are photoelectric sensors— optical switches used for presence detection, fill-level measurement, and safety. These sensors use a light emitter and receiver to detect objects across various configurations: transmissive( longrange detection), retro-reflective( ideal for shiny surfaces), diffuse reflection( versatile for sizing), and measuring light curtains( broad detection fields). Hamamatsu Photonics leads in sensor integration, offering high-performance photodiodes and near-infrared LEDs resistant to ambient interference. Their wide emitter and detector range supports tailored solutions for automated systems. As Industry 4.0 evolves, Hamamatsu’ s innovations ensure reliability and precision in complex manufacturing environments.
