How Do Light Convergent Reflective Sensors Work?
Sensors are essential to enhancing productivity and safety in several industries, including factories, where automation has become increasingly commonplace. Photoelectric (optical) sensors are ubiquitous nowadays, safely controlling elevators, opening grocery store doors, and even detecting winners at racing events. Conventional diffuse reflective sensors function well with objects of certain material and color combinations, but can become unstable and inaccurate when specifications differ. In contrast, sensors based on the convergent reflective technique are able to detect objects having a much wider variation in material, color, or reflectiveness.
