The photoelectric sensor is a crucial safety device for industrial machinery, creating a non-physical barrier that automatically stops the machine if the light beam is interrupted by the operator.
The photoelectric sensor, or cell, is an advanced safety solution for industrial machinery. It creates a non-physical barrier which, once interrupted by the operator, makes the machine stop immediately.
This function is essential for preventing accidents and injuries by providing early warning of any unexpected presence within the hazardous area. After being stopped by such safety devices, the machine must be reset manually using a push button, to ensure that operation resumes in full knowledge of events and safety.
