What is a balluff photoelectric sensor
Photoelectric sensors are sensors that use optoelectronic components as detection elements. It first converts the measured change into a change in the optical signal, and then further converts the optical signal into an electrical signal with the help of an optoelectronic component. Photoelectric sensors are generally composed of three parts: light source, optical path and optoelectronic components.
