Therefore, the objects beyond the set range. FA COMPONENTS sensor can even detect individual objects that are mixed For this reason, malfunction does not occur even if with black objects or objects of various colors that were there are moving machines or people passing by in the MACHINE VISION hard for the diffuse reflective type sensor to detect. background.
