'''Optical Proximity Sensor''' is a device that uses the principle of triangulation of reflected infrared or visible light to measure small distances in a robotic system.Optical proximity sensors generally cost more than [[Inductive Proximity Sensors]], and about the same as capacitive sensors. They are widely used in automated systems because they have been available longer and because some can fit into small locations. These [[Sensors]] are more commonly known as light beam sensors of the thru-beam type or of the retro reflective type. | '''Optical Proximity Sensor''' is a device that uses the principle of triangulation of reflected infrared or visible light to measure small distances in a robotic system.Optical proximity sensors generally cost more than [[Inductive Proximity Sensors]], and about the same as capacitive sensors.
