Suggested applications
Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
1. Machine station part detection
Monitor a part or package at a machine station in an environment where oil exposure is possible.
Potential use
Select the appropriate sensing mode and verify range and alignment using the actual target and reflector where required.
