KALEN AUTOMATION

Diffuse Photoelectric Sensors

KALEN Automation offers diffuse photoelectric sensors in cylindrical, rectangular and compact housing styles for industrial object detection. Choose a housing that fits your machine layout, mounting space and cable routing. We can help you select different sensing distances and review NPN / PNP outputs, NO / NC switching, 3-wire / 4-wire configurations, cable or connector connections and DC supply requirements. Available combinations depend on the selected model. For conveyor detection, packaging machinery, object presence detection, counting or positioning, share the target material, color, size and background as well as the required detection distance. This information helps us review the sensing arrangement and recommend a suitable model. OEM/ODM enquiries are welcome for machine builders and distributors. Send your reference model or product photo, required specifications and quantity so we can discuss a compatible sensor and the scope of any customization.

Applications

Conveyor detection

Discuss detection of products moving past a fixed sensor. Include belt speed, object spacing and mounting position.

Packaging machinery

Review presence checks for packages, cartons or components. Share the surface finish and any transparent or reflective targets.

Object presence detection

Specify the object size, color and background so the required detection arrangement can be reviewed.

Counting

Provide object spacing and line speed. Ask us to confirm the response time and output needed by your counter or controller.

Positioning

Share the target position, required repeatability and installation space. Confirm performance against the selected model.

Available Options

Sensing distance

Different sensing distances can be reviewed for your target and installation. Confirm the exact range for the selected model.

NPN / PNP output

Specify the output required by your PLC or controller. Model availability and wiring must be confirmed.

NO / NC switching

Tell us whether normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) operation is required. Ask for the model-specific switching diagram.

3-wire / 4-wire

Share your required wire configuration and controller connection. Available combinations depend on the model.

Cable / connector

Request a cable or connector connection and provide cable length or connector details. Confirm availability before ordering.

DC supply voltage

Provide your required DC voltage and ask for the rated operating voltage of the recommended model.

Please confirm sensing method, dimensions and electrical specifications for the exact model. Housing photographs do not establish a sensing distance or thread size.
