Photoelectric Proximity Sensor, Background Suppression
The photoelectric proximity sensor is a device that detects the presence or absence of an object without physical contact. It works by emitting light and measuring the amount of light reflected back. When an object enters the sensor's range, it reflects some of the light back to the sensor, triggering a signal.
Background suppression is a feature that helps to improve the accuracy of the sensor by filtering out ambient light and other interference sources. This ensures that the sensor only responds to the target object and not to surrounding conditions.
