Question
Are heat-resistant Photoelectric Sensors available?
Answer
Yes, Fiber-type Photoelectric Sensors are available with heat resistance specifications. The heat resistance specifications, however, apply to Fiber Units only, and not to Amplifier Units.
Applications
Detecting wafers in high-temperature environments
