The sensor can be used in applications where space is critical.

As a result of its physical operating principle and metal housing, the sensor is suitable for use where dust, dirt or coloured vapours are present.

The device can detect transparent objects or liquids and includes positioning tasks, checking presence, monitoring heights and distances for collision prevention, and other object detection applications.
