Benefits Introduce In Detail

Compact Design and Automatic Setup

The OJ photoelectric sensor uses a visible LED as a light source, has dimensions of only 24 x 45 x 11 mm, and with a switching speed of up to 2000 Hz, this series of sensors is suitable for most high-speed applications. The OJ sensor can be used with a wide range of mounting brackets, supporting most installation configurations.

The advanced microprocessor has powerful signal processing and analysis capabilities. This allows the OJ to learn the characteristics of the target and the background in specific applications.

During the initial installation process, an automatic calibration will determine the light conditions when the target is present and when it is not. The OJ’s sensitivity is then automatically adjusted to ensure the highest safety margin under both conditions.
