Re: Broken Beam Sensor?
The BANNER Sensors mentioned above are great sensors.

For this application you may also want to consider a current sensor on the roller/vacuum motor, then you dont have to worry about placing a beam sensor or reflective tape or anything like that. (if you have no active possession mechanism ignore this comment)
