Description
The PHOTOSWITCH® 45DMS distance measurement photoelectric sensor is a
compact, time-of-flight sensor that is ideal for measurement applications in
Page
material handling and packaging environments. Background-suppression sensing
modes are ideal for applications where highly reflective backgrounds must be
1
ignored while helping to provide excellent reliability detection of targets within the
1
specified range.

The distance measurement sensor also offers a background reflection (also known
as foreground suppression) sensing mode that enables you to use the surface of a
2
background (for example, a conveyor) as a reflector. The detection of a target
2
occurs once an object blocks the visual path between the sensor and the
3
background (for example, a conveyor).
