sensor, which offers safe and reliable
laser technology for automation
tasks where small objects need to be
detected with pinpoint accuracy. The
series covers a powerful throughbeam

suppression. An object 1.5mm across
can be detected at a distance of
200mm against a background, or a
3mm object over 60m.
