The Sick multitask photoelectric sensor offers advantages of time-of-flight technology in the world's smallest sensor housing to date, giving maximum flexibility when designing machines. This photoelectric proximity sensor has background suppression detection. It objects being conveyed at high-speed, small and flat objects, and jet-black or shiny objects can now be reliably detected at sensing ranges between 5cm and 4m. This sensor shape is rectangular with background suppression. The eight switching points for distance to object, of which two can be inverted, one switching point as switching window or configurable with hysteresis, multifunctional input: sender off, external teach, inactive.
