Use this photoelectric sensor from Festo to safely and accurately check the position of items on a conveyor belt. If the sensor detects any absences or misalignments, it triggers an alert. This makes it useful for error detection in high-volume batch production. The diffuse-type sensor is quick and easy to mount and adjust as its transmitter and receiver are contained within the same housing. It's suitable to use in demanding industrial applications thanks to its sturdy housing that's protected from dust and water jets.

A diffuse sensor uses objects in the path of its transmitted beam to reflect light back to it. In the normal detecting mode, the sensor shouldn't receive any light back. When it does, it indicates an error state.
