What is a Photoelectric switch?

A photoelectric switch is a type of sensor that uses light to detect the presence or position of an object. It operates by determining whether light emitted from the emitter reaches the receiver. There are three main types: reflective, through-beam, and diffuse. Its non-contact detection capability makes it widely used in manufacturing lines and automation systems. The switch offers fast and precise detection, contributing to quality control and safety in operations.
