IDEC Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, is introducing the SA2E general-purpose photoelectric (PE) sensor family, which improves on its SA1E products. A new ASIC, common to the entire offering, delivers better response times and more capable detection.

SA2E PE sensors are offered in five major variations:

T: Through-beam, for detecting objects passing between emitter/receiver pairs.

P: Polarized retro-reflective, for detecting objects passing between the receiver and a reflector, even in difficult lighting conditions.

D: Diffused-reflective, for detecting targets by the light reflected from the target.

B: Background suppression reflective, for improved and reliable detection of a wide variety of targets by the light reflected by the target.

N: Small beam reflective, for close detection of small targets.
