MICROmote®

Miniature Opto Sensors With Separate Amplifiers

The only real alternative to fiber optics. For especially tight installation spaces. The world’s smallest optical sensors with high-performance optical components and suitable amplifiers.

COMPACT

Miniature Opto Sensors With Built-In Amplifiers

Whether cubical, cylindrical or custom-shaped, a large selection of compact photoelectric sensors, retroreflective sensors, diffuse reflective sensors, etc. can be found here.

Vacuum Rated Photoelectric Sensors

From low vacuum for grippers to high vacuum at 10^-9 mbar for demanding applications in process technology. We manufacture a multitude of vacuum-capable sensors. Designed for the requirements of renowned customers.

Fork sensors

Optical fork sensors are all arrangements in which the electronic and optical components are mounted and precisely aligned in a fork-shaped metal housing. From standard through beam over label detection to light-band fork sensors for web steering or inline thread quality control.

Frame sensors

Frame sensors or otpical windows are densely packed through beams in a closed metal housing.

For detecting and counting fast-moving objects. With dynamic or static analysis. In fixed sizes or from a modular system.

Liquid sensors

Based on our unique microoptical precision components we produce sensors for the detection of liquids in transparent tubes or containers. Level- and tube sensors, water sensors or microsensors for fluid channels and capillaries.

Optoelectronic components

With state-of-the-art technology, we manufacture precision microoptical component assemblies for our sensors. LEDs, photodiodies, phototransistors or laser diode modules with very extraordinary optical properties.

Accessories

Here, you will find all useful accessories for practical application of our products:

supply cables, adapter cables, reflectors, reflex films, fastening aids, etc.
