Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
1. M3-mounted close-proximity part detection
A 5 to 30 mm limited-reflective range can suit a target positioned near the sensor face.
Potential use
Use the 50 × 50 mm white-paper reference range as a selection baseline and validate actual target performance at the installed distance.

2. Small target detection in a compact assembly
Omron specifies a 0.15 mm minimum sensing-object diameter at a 10 mm sensing distance.
Potential use
Check the real target material, shape and alignment at the required sensing point before fixing the sensor in place.
