Smooth or matt surfaces, dark coatings or inclined threads are classic challenges for optical systems. <\/p><p>The P1MH202 reflex sensor works with a focused laser beam and intelligent background suppression. This technology is based on the principle of triangulation: the sensor measures the distance via the angle of the reflected light signal and can therefore separate foreground objects &#8211; such as the thread &#8211; from background structures in a targeted manner.  This makes it possible to detect even filigree thread contours without reflections or shiny spots distorting the measurement result.
