ST188 infrared photoelectric reflex sensor

The ST188 infrared photoelectric reflex sensor is designed for non-contact object detection in industrial automation systems. It works by emitting infrared light towards a reflector or object, and detecting the time it takes for the light to return. This allows the sensor to determine whether an object is present, triggering a response when reflection is detected. The sensor offers high sensitivity and precision, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including assembly lines, packaging, and material handling.

Built to operate in various environmental conditions, the ST188 sensor is reliable in both indoor and outdoor settings. Its use of infrared light minimizes interference from visible light sources, ensuring accurate detection even in challenging lighting conditions. This makes the sensor an ideal choice for environments where consistent, efficient automation and object detection are crucial.
