laser break beam sensor

5YRS 5.0 ( 1) | Contact Supplier 1 / 6 IBEST M18 dc 5V 12V 24V Laser Security Through Beam Break Optical Photoelectric Photocell Photo Switch Sensor Ready to Ship $12.00-$15.00
Based on the change in the position where the light is received (light entry angle), the sensor can detect the change in the distance to the target (height or position of the target). KEYENCE CORPORATION OF AMERICA There's a potentiometer which can be used to adjust sensitivity, we didn't find it to make much difference. There are also longer range versions available. Keeping the laser aimed at the photo-resistor, flip the switch to arm the device and use a finger to break the laser beam (this sounds more exciting than it is). Using an image-based laser sensor to detect the heights of parts and materials. In a nutshell, when power is applied, the laser will fire in short pulses until it hits the sensor, then it will stay on. on Step 8.
