Photo-Electric Switch
Photo-Electric Switches are used for Motion Control Automation in conveying unit goods like Boxes, Cartoons, Bottles, and Containers etc. Levels of Bulk Materials are often sensed by such switches. Various types of logics for Automatic Operations, Actuation of Alarms etc are carried out by using the Photo Electric Switches in the Control Circuit of the Electrical Panel. These are usually field mounted on suitable support clamps.
Features:
