Thanks to the optical measurement methods, the SOE... series sensors cover a wide range of tasks. From color detection to detection of smallest parts, right up to a laser distance sensor. Of course it is perfectly tailored for the products and services of Festo.

Opto-electronic sensor SOEG-E/S

Light barrier in rectangular shape for ranges up to 20 m. With cable or plug connection.

  • Round or block design
  • Electrical connection via open cable end or plug

​Opto-electronic sensor SOEG-RS/RT

The optoelectronic sensors SOEG-…-M12/M18-... with retro-reflective sensor and background suppression are ideal for relatively long distances. They locate metal and non-conductive objects of all sizes.

  • Round or block design
  • Electrical connection via open cable end or plug

Fiber-optic unit SOE4

Variants with LED display, switching and analog output. Setting by means of teach-in.

  • Use for precise and space-saving position sensing in electronics and light assembly
  • Switching frequencies of up to 8000 Hz
  • Operational with fiber optic cable SOOC as accessory
  • Variants: LED or LED display, timer function
  • Mounting: H-rail mounting or via through-holes
  • With protection against mutual interference

​Fork light barrier SOOF

Fork sensors are through-beams sensors. This technique ensures optimum reliability and efficiency, providing safe detection with minimum work required for installation.

  • Through-beam sensor with minimal installation effort
  • Design: polymer or metal
  • Sturdy housing: high shock and vibration resistance
  • Protection: IP67
  • Electrical connection via M8x1 plug connector, 3-pin
  • LED indicators

Diffuse scan SOEL

The highly precise, visible red laser beam of the SOEL locates the smallest of objects—independently

  • Electrical connection via open cable end or plug

Fiber-optic unit SOEG-L

Fibre-optic unit for ranges up to 250 mm. With cable or plug connection.

  • Block design
  • Electrical connection via open cable end or plug

Light barrier SOOE

The SOOE for object detection gives you all the optical functions in one identical sensor housing. From the through-beam sensor to the distance sensor, you can make use of highly innovative technologies and reduce the multiplicity of parts in use, by means of consistent installation.

  • Simple operation
  • Fast commissioning
  • Reliable and stable detection
  • Attractive price/performance ratio

Color sensor SOEC-RT-Q50-PS-S-7L

Colour sensor in rectangular shape. With plug connection.
