Area sensors are through beam or retro-reflective light curtains designed for detection or measurement across a wide area.  We bring together two leading European manufacturers.  The Datasensing (formerlyM.D. Micro Detectors) range of area sensors are available with either straight or crossed beams and analogue or transistorised outputs with special versions designed for the vending machine industry.  The German manufacturer DUOmetric manufacture light curtains with heights from 70mm to 3700mm that can detect parts as small as 2mm in diameter.  The modular LA range has programmable straight or crossed beams and sensitivity which can either be factory set or programmed on site for total customisation to suit the application.  Area sensors are used in a variety of applications including edge guidance, width or height control and leading edge detection in the logistics industry.
