In fact, diffuse photoelectric sensors are color dependent, and this characteristic is often leveraged in sophisticated units to distinguish dark and light targets for sorting or quality control.

This article compares three types of photoelectric sensors—through-beam, retroreflective and diffused—used in industrial applications to detect object presence.

The new ODT3CL1-2M laser diffuse sensor from Leuze extends the company’s range of 3C series distance sensors. Time-of-flight technology allows an operating range of up to 2m for the switching and ...
