Industrial & Automation Sensors for Reliable Sensing & Control

At Excel Automation, we are sensor application specialists — supplying a broad range of industrial-grade sensors and delivering expert guidance to help you choose the right technology for your application. Whether you need object detection, level sensing, high-speed inspection, or environmental monitoring, our sensors are engineered to perform reliably under demanding industrial conditions.

With decades of experience supporting OEMs, material handling systems, food & beverage lines, packaging, and automated production — we understand what it takes to make sensors work in the real world. From dusty plants to cleanrooms, from fast conveyors to slow tanks, we help you select and integrate the optimal sensing solution.

Our Full Range of Sensor Technologies & Capabilities

We offer a comprehensive suite of sensor types — grouped by their most common industrial applications — so you can quickly find what fits your project needs:

Presence, Object & Part Detection Sensors

Photoelectric sensors (retro-reflective, through-beam, diffuse)
Proximity sensors (inductive, capacitive, magnetic)
Laser sensors (laser-distance, laser-triangulation, fiber-optic)
Ultrasonic sensors

Ideal for: part presence/absence detection on conveyors, component detection in automation, double-sheet detectors, and registration mark detection.

Level & Flow Monitoring Sensors

Ultrasonic / Radar / Float level sensors (for liquids, solids, powders)
Conductive / Capacitive level sensors
Flow and valve-position sensors

Typical uses: tank level monitoring, fluid or bulk-material level control, continuous flow monitoring in chemical, food, paint, or liquid-handling systems.

Color, Registration, & Label Detection Sensors

Color sensors & color-discrimination photoelectric sensors
UV / Luminescence sensors
Label sensors & registration-mark sensors

Common in: printing, packaging, converting lines — for detecting correct label placement, color consistency, registration marks on film or webs, and translucent/clear object detection.

High-Speed & Precision Sensors

High-speed photoelectric / fiber-optic / laser sensors
Micro-precision proximity or displacement sensors
Clear-object, contrast, or fine-detail sensors

Used when: cycles are rapid (assembly lines, packaging, sorting), tolerances are tight, or for detection of small parts, clear plastic, or reflective material.

Environmental & Specialty Sensors

Sensors rated for harsh / wash-down / dusty environments (e.g. IP67 / NEMA 4X)
Sensors for machine guarding, safety mats, presence/motion detection in hazardous zones
Custom sensing solutions — for unique or combination requirements

Why Choose Excel Automation for Your Sensing Needs

✅ Broad Product Selection & Technology Expertise

From simple proximity switches to advanced laser-triangulation and UV detectors, we carry a wide variety of sensor types — so you don’t need to juggle multiple vendors.

✅ Application-Focused Support

We don’t just sell sensors — we help engineers and automation integrators select the right sensor based on environment, speed, material, reflectivity, and control requirements.

✅ Real-World Experience

With years of supplying sensors for diverse industries (packaging, plastics, food processing, automation, conveyors, assembly), we’ve seen what works — and what fails — in real industrial conditions.

✅ Custom & Integrated Solutions

Need special ratings, unusual sensing environments, or combined functions (level + presence, UV + color)? We specialize in putting sensor packages together to solve complex sensing problems.

Industries & Applications We Serve

Our sensors support a broad spectrum of industries and automation environments, including:

Automated assembly & manufacturing lines
Material handling & conveyor systems
Packaging, filling, capping, and labeling machines
Plastic molding, extrusion, and converting lines
Food, beverage & chemical processing (with wash-down / dust / harsh-environment sensors)Inspection, quality control, and high-speed sorting systems
Robotics, pick-and-place, and machine-guarding applications

Whether you need to detect parts, monitor levels, insure safety, or automate visual inspections — Excel Automation has a sensor to match.

How to Choose the Right Sensor — A Quick Guide

Selecting a sensor isn’t just about type — it’s about matching performance to application constraints. Consider:

Material type & reflectivity: metal vs plastic, opaque vs clear vs translucent — some sensors (laser, ultrasonic, UV) handle certain materials better.
Speed & cycle time: high-speed conveyors or short dwell times require fast-response sensors (laser, high-speed photoelectric, fiber-optic).
Environment: dust, moisture, washdown — require sealed, rugged sensors (IP67 / NEMA 4X).
Sensing requirement: presence/absence, level detection, color detection, registration, label detection, safety guarding — each may need a different sensor technology.
Integration needs: output type (analog, PNP/NPN, 4–20 mA, discrete), signal conditioning, control compatibility with PLC/automation system.
Reliability & maintenance: choose sensors proven for industrial duty cycles and low-false-trigger tolerance.
