Photoelectric Beam for Automatic Gates
Photoelectric beam is essential safety sensors for gate automation systems, using infrared technology to detect obstacles in the path of automated swing or sliding gates. When the invisible beam is interrupted by a person, vehicle, or object, the gate stops or reverses to prevent accidents or damage.
Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, photoelectric beams offer reliable performance in various weather conditions. Easy to install and maintain, they enhance both security and functionality. With adjustable detection ranges and durable construction, photoelectric beams are a smart addition to any modern automated gate system, ensuring safety, efficiency, and peace of mind.

Photoelectric Beams
Are you looking for a safety sensor that delivers performance, reliability, and value? Look no further than our Photoelectric Beams. At South Pacific Electronics, we proudly supply high-quality sensor solutions designed specifically for automatic gates, garage doors, boom gates, and access control systems.
For example, imagine a residential driveway gate that closes automatically after a vehicle enters. If a child or pet unexpectedly runs across the path, the photoelectric beam instantly detects the movement and halts the gate—preventing injury or damage. This real-time response enhances safety without compromising convenience.
Additionally, these sensors are perfect for commercial properties with sliding or swing gates, where consistent operation and obstacle detection are critical. As soon as the invisible infrared beam is interrupted, the system reacts immediately—keeping people, vehicles, and property safe.
Furthermore, the compact and weatherproof design makes them easy to install and reliable in any environment. Engineered for daily use, they withstand harsh conditions while providing consistent performance.
We offer competitive pricing without sacrificing quality, making our photoelectric beams an ideal choice for homes, businesses, and industrial sites.
