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 reflected light. When an object enters the sensor's range, it reflects some of the emitted light back to the sensor, which triggers 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 elements.
