Photoelectric sensors (photocell sensor) are widely used in gate and door industry. Door sensors are mainly realized by means of microwave, infrared or laser detection. Infrared photoelectric sensors and infrared light curtain are most widely used in industrial doors such as high speed door, roller shutter door and sectional hard high speed door. When the people or object are detected by the infrared device (photocell or light curtain), no matter whether people move or not, as long as they are within the detecting range of sensors and light curtains, they will react and give the control output to protect people or objects from being pinched. Microwave radar is also a widely-used product in automatic door industry. It responds to the movement of people or objects, thus realizing the automatic door switch control.

What is a polarized retro-reflective sensor?
In the previous paragraph is discussed why you could choose for a retro-reflective sensor. What can a polarized reflector offer on top of that? The answer is a more reliable solution.
In the essence, a polarized reflector works exactly the same as a usual reflector. The difference is in the way the emitted light is rebounded. A retro-reflective sensor with a normal reflector can suffer interference in an application with multiple light sources. The reflector than also sends the light of these sources as a reflection to the sensor, which could lead to a wrong detection.
A retro-reflective sensor with polarized reflector is provided with a so called polarisation filter. This filter is making sure that light with a given wavelength is reflected and the rest of the wavelengths not. By using this attribute, only the light with the wavelength of the emitted light is reflected. Than it is less likely that false reflections of the undesired lightsources are rebounded to the sensor. In this way, you can be more sure that the sensor only receives the light that it emitted itself.
