Sensors & Control Modules
Photoelectric sensors, proximity switches, PLC modules, and HMI panels for glass processing automation. OEM-spec replacements that restore factory precision.
How It Works
Four stages from identification to calibration — the engineering behind factory-precision automation.
Why Hanwin Sensors
OEM-spec hardware with firmware-identical PLC modules. Factory precision, zero compromise.
OEM-Spec Hardware
Identical to factory-installed components — same sensing range, switching characteristics, and physical dimensions.
Firmware-Identical PLCs
PLC modules contain factory firmware — zero logic changes, zero compatibility issues, zero reprogramming needed.
IP67/IP68 Rated
Waterproof and dustproof. Designed for the harsh conditions of glass processing — water, glass dust, chemical exposure.
Configuration Labels
Every module ships with a label showing exact setup parameters. No cross-referencing manuals or guessing at settings.
Firmware-Identical PLCs
PLC modules contain factory firmware — zero logic changes, zero compatibility issues, zero reprogramming needed. Drop-in replacement.
Technical Specs
Industrial-grade electronics with IP67/IP68 protection — built for the harsh conditions of glass processing.
How It Compares
Sensors & controls lead in precision and durability — the eyes and brain that keep your line running.
Sensors & controls score highest in Precision (90) and Durability (80) — OEM-spec replacements that restore factory calibration and keep production lines running.
Where It Excels
From individual sensor swaps to full PLC replacements — restore factory precision.
Sensor Replacement
Photoelectric & Proximity
Failed or drifting sensors cause quality defects and safety issues. Hanwin OEM-spec sensors match the exact detection thresholds and switching characteristics of the factory-installed unit — restoring precision without reprogramming.

Keep Them Monitoring
Five essential practices to maximize sensor accuracy and prevent unexpected production stops.
Run the machine's sensor diagnostic routine quarterly. Detect drifting sensors before they cause quality defects or safety issues.
Glass dust accumulates on photoelectric sensor lenses, reducing detection range. Clean with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth monthly.
Vibration loosens wire connections over time. Check all sensor and module connectors during scheduled maintenance. Tighten any loose terminals.
Stock the 5 most common sensors for your line. A failed sensor shouldn't stop production for days while waiting for a replacement.
Track error codes and the components they indicate. Patterns reveal whether a specific sensor is degrading or if there's a systemic issue.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about sensors and control modules.
Check the sensor's indicator LED first — most Hanwin sensors have a status light. If the LED is off: power/wiring issue. If LED is on but no detection: sensor failure. If LED flickers: intermittent connection. Test with a multimeter for definitive diagnosis.
Aftermarket sensors may physically fit but often have different detection thresholds, switching speeds, or output signals. This causes erratic machine behavior, false triggers, or safety interlock failures. OEM sensors cost more but ensure factory performance.
Photoelectric sensors in dusty environments — glass dust coats the lens and reduces detection range. Clean monthly and replace when cleaning no longer restores performance. Proximity switches in wet areas are second — water ingress corrodes the sensing face.
No. Hanwin PLC modules ship pre-programmed with factory firmware. Install the module, configure the parameters from the included label, and run the self-test. No programming required.
