Photoelectric Sensors do not require reflectors.

Employing Class 2 laser, O5D Series integrates Time-of-Flight sensing principle and PMD technology for diffuse background suppression sensing ranges up to 2 m. All target colors are sensed at same range, and accuracy is not affected by reflective targets/backgrounds. Switch point, visible on numeric display, can be set via plus or minus pushbuttons. While O5D100 displays range in centimeters,...
