Our sensor range
Eight categories covering nearly every industrial sensing problem — from detecting a steel part on a conveyor to guarding a power press.
Capacitive Proximity Sensors
Detect metals, plastics, glass, liquids, grain and powders — including sensing through non-metallic tank walls.
Analog Proximity Sensors
Continuous 0–10 V DC or 4–20 mA output proportional to target distance, for gap, runout and thickness control.
Photoelectric Sensors
Through-beam, retro-reflective, diffuse, fork and laser optical sensors for ranges from 30 mm to 30 m.
Magnetic Sensors
Reed, Hall-effect and variable-reluctance pickups for cylinder position, speed and RPM measurement.
Solid State Relays
Single-phase, three-phase and PCB-mount SSRs for silent, arc-free switching of heaters and motors.
Sensor Control Units
Amplifiers, timers and relay-output units that convert sensor signals into usable switching for your panel.
Safety Guards & Light Curtains
Infrared light curtains that stop power presses, shears and robotic cells the instant a beam is broken.
Why buy from a local manufacturer
The advantages of manufacturing in Mumbai are practical ones, and they show up when something goes wrong.
Short lead times
Stock items dispatch in one to two working days, and urgent line-down replacements can be collected the same day from Goregaon. An imported equivalent can take weeks.
Built to your specification
Cable lengths, housing materials, output configuration and connector types adjusted to suit your machine — from a single unit to a full production schedule.
Talk to the people who build it
No overseas distributor in between. Send a photograph of your mounting position and get a real answer about what will work, before you order.
Consistent quality control
Manufacturing under one roof means batch-to-batch consistency, so a replacement behaves exactly like the sensor it replaces and your fixture does not need re-qualifying.

Frequently asked questions
Do you manufacture the sensors yourselves?
Yes. We manufacture at our unit in Kiran Industrial Estate, Goregaon West, Mumbai. That means we can build to your specification, adjust cable lengths and housings, and turn around replacements quickly rather than waiting on an import.
What is the minimum order quantity?
There is no fixed minimum. We supply single replacement units to maintenance teams and scheduled volumes to OEMs. Tell us what you need and we will quote it.
Can you supply a sensor to match one I already have?
Usually yes. Send us a photograph showing the body markings, the thread size and the cable, along with the machine it came from, and we will identify a suitable equivalent.
How quickly can you deliver?
Stock items normally dispatch within one to two working days, and same-day collection from Goregaon is possible for urgent line-down situations. Custom-built or special-length items depend on the specification — we will confirm a date when we quote.
Do you supply outside Mumbai?
Yes. We despatch across India by courier and transport, and we export. Give us your delivery pin code and we will include freight in the quotation.
Can you help me select the right sensor?
That is the part we would rather you asked about. Send us the target material, the sensing gap, your PLC or supply voltage, and a photograph of the mounting position. We will recommend a part before you order rather than after.
Need the right sensor for your machine?
Send us your application — target material, sensing distance, supply voltage and housing constraint. We will recommend a part, quote it, and ship from Mumbai.
