Your benefits
   State of the art technology, e.g. OES3 provides precise background suppression
   and reliable detection of challenging objects
   High immunity to ambient light, optical reflections and crosstalk ensures fewer false
   readings and less downtime
   PinPoint LED technology provides a highly visible light spot that enables quick and
   easy sensor alignment
   Highly visible status LEDs simplify sensing distance adjustments and reduce
   installation time
   A rugged metal housing withstands high-pressure cleaners and cleaning agents,
   reducing downtime
   Complementary outputs in one housing reduce inventory and procurement costs
   IO-Link enables quick remote diagnostics and maintenance (optional)
   Easy installation using SICK accessories
