Object Detection Sensor FAQs

Straight answers to what buyers ask us most about Object Detection.

Object detection sensors detect the presence, absence, position or movement of objects on machines and production lines. RB Automation's range includes photoelectric sensors, fiber optic sensors, gap and label sensors, rotary encoders, and inductive and capacitive proximity sensors. They are used for counting, positioning, label detection, and speed or position feedback in automated equipment.

Inductive proximity sensors detect metal targets without contact and are widely used for position sensing on machines. Capacitive proximity sensors can detect both metallic and non-metallic materials such as plastic, wood, powders and liquids, including level detection through non-metallic container walls. The choice depends on the target material and the sensing distance your application needs.

Photoelectric sensors detect objects with a light beam and suit longer sensing distances. Fiber optic sensors place a small fiber head in tight spaces while the amplifier sits away from the target. Gap and label sensors detect the gap between labels on a web so labelling machines can stop and position each label accurately. Rotary encoders provide speed and position feedback from shafts.

RB Automation in Ahmedabad, Gujarat supplies proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, fiber optic sensors, label sensors and rotary encoders to OEMs and maintenance teams across India. Share the sensing distance, target material, output type such as PNP or NPN, and connection style, and the team will suggest suitable models. Call +91 8511104864 or use the inquiry form on this page.

Sensor and encoder prices depend on the type, sensing range or resolution, housing size, output and connection style, and order quantity. RB Automation quotes each requirement instead of publishing fixed prices, and can combine several sensor types into one quotation. Email contact@rbautomate.com with the models or specifications you need to receive a quote.

Yes. RB Automation supplies object detection sensors in bulk for OEM packaging, labelling, printing and assembly machines, as well as for plant maintenance stocks. Using consistent sensor models across machines simplifies spares and wiring. WhatsApp +91 9898739737 with your quantity and sensor list to request a bulk quote.

Yes. The team helps you choose between photoelectric, fiber optic, gap/label, inductive and capacitive sensors or a rotary encoder by reviewing the target, distance, mounting space, environment and the input your PLC expects. This avoids trial and error on the machine. You can also meet the team at E 206, Ganesh Glory 11, Jagatpur Road, off SG Highway, Jagatpur, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 382470.
