OMRON's unique structure uses four
types of toroidal lenses to enable stable
sensing, even at minimal light levels.
The low levels of light reflected off shiny,
black or transparent objects made detection
unstable.

Sensing was not
possible due to
object shifting.
Answer!
A wider sensing range has been realized
through the use of four types of toroidal lenses.
Sensing is even possible in the case of object
shifting.
Optical simulations were used in the design of these lenses
to provide robustness in terms of both color and distance.
