- Easy to Align even the long distance

New C-R Series
Cylindrical photoelectric sensor with long-distance detection, robustness, and excellent usability.

The new C-R Series has much higher performance than conventional models, and is more easy-to-use.
This is a new generation photoelectric sensor with the high detection performance, cost performance ratio, and robustness that are required of cylindrical sensors.
Large Sensing Distance

Achieved 25m detection distance, the longest for through beam types! Meets the need for long-distance application.
