Among the popular initiatives
of Autonics Corporation are products like Fiber Optic Sensors, Miniature Photoelectric
Sensors and Photoelectric Switches.
Fiber Optic Sensors are used in the space constrained areas as well as in high
temperature applications. A wide range of miniature photoelectric sensors are
used for the space constrained areas. The BJ series is one such sensor series.
Photoelectric switches are widely used for Industrial Automation. The main categories
are: diffuse type that are used for lower ranges where the reflector or two
separate mountings are not possible, retro reflective types that are used where
more range is required, and beam type that is with separate emitter and receiver
housings with maximum sensing ranges. Typical application of these switches
are to detect the target passed in narrow spaces, fallen bottles on a conveyor,
label of a transparent bottle; to guide the goods passing an automatic conveyor
line; to measure the frequency of rotation of an object; detection of broken
drill bits, transparent bottles using the retro reflective type; sensing the
position of a moving target, and position detection of elevator.
With these products, Autonics has come-up with one of the best performing sensors
available in the market.
