Which Sensor Is Suitable for Detecting the Approach of People or Objects?

Answer

We offer a range of sensors capable of detecting the approach of people and objects. Please refer to the features and application examples of each product to support your issue resolution and product selection.

① 3D TOF Sensor Module (B5L)
② Diffuse Reflective Sensors (B5W-DB)

Explanation

① 3D TOF Sensor Module (B5L)

Using the TOF (Time of Flight) method, this sensor measures the distance to people within a 3D detection area based on the travel time of light.
