Overview


The SureSense family of photoelectric sensors provides reliable detection of virtually any object in any environment. This versatility allows detection of the very basic to most difficult objects including black, shiny, transparent, varying color and more. SureSense does this by providing best-in-class performance along with an extremely broad offering of sensing options, output types and advanced features.

An intuitive signal strength light bar makes installation and troubleshooting easier than ever. All this cutting edge technology is built into a VISTAL™ housing, which is 9 times stronger than ABS housings.
