About Photo Optics

Photo Optics

What is a Photo Optic device?

Our Photo Optic Product line includes:

Thru Beam Infrared Technology

Thru beam technology utilizes a transmitting and a receiving unit. These separate units are mounted opposite each other. The sending unit emits an infrared beam of light. The receiving unit detects the light beam. An interruption of the light beam blocks reception and causes the unit to send a signal to motor controls to stop or reverse operation.

Reflective Technology

A reflective system houses both the light emitter and receiver into one unit. The beam is sent to a reflector and bounced back to the receiver.

Where can Photo Optics be used?

Anywhere that you want an interrupted beam of light to send a signal! Common applications include:

  • Motorized Door or Gate
  • Elevator Doors
  • Perimeter Machine Guarding
  • Counting
