Stable detection for of shiny, black or transparent objects
Unaffected by backgrounds, meaning only the intended object is
sensed accurately.

Detection range
Sensing of shiny, black
or transparent objects was
unstable, requiring more
man-hours for development
and production processes.
With OMRON's Light Convergent
Reflective Sensors, unstable sensing of
shiny, black or transparent objects is no
longer a problem, meaning less man-hours!
Contributing to reduction of man-hours.
Here's why
Light Convergent Reflective Sensor
Principles
The presence of an object is detected by the received light
reflected off a sensed object. The sensor's optical system has a
limited projection beam and light sensing area, so the system is
capable of sensing objects only within a specific distance from
the sensor (the range in which the projection beam and the light
sensing area overlap).
(1) At a sensing distance for white objects, a black object is not sensed.
(2) At a sensing distance for black objects, a white background is sensed.
