Optex Proximity Sensor
The Optex Proximity Sensor is a high-performance industrial photoelectric sensor designed for reliable, non-contact object detection in automation and manufacturing environments. Engineered for precision and durability, it accurately detects the presence, position, or movement of objects without physical contact, helping improve production efficiency while reducing wear and maintenance. Available in multiple sensing configurations—including diffuse reflective, through-beam, retro-reflective, and background suppression (BGS)—Optex sensors are widely used in packaging, material handling, conveyor systems, automotive manufacturing, and industrial assembly lines.
