With commonly used light intensity type sensors (which detect objects by the amount
of reflected light), performance is greatly affected by the reflectivity of the detected
object.
However, since the MA motion sensor does not detect based on the amount of reflect-
ed rays, it features the ability not to be easily influenced by the reflection ratio because
detection is based on the position of the receiving spot in the receive element.
FEATURE
1
Since detection is determined by inten-
sity, the influence of reflection ration is
likely.
A non-spherical lens is used both for projector and receiver.
Using a non-spherical lens in this sensor, the projector lens can produce the incident
light efficiently from the light-emitting element. In addition, the receiver lens can effi-
ciently gather the entering light into the photo detector. As a result, an accurate dis-
tance measurement can be made even if the detected object has low reflectivity.

Because of the distance-measured type, accurate sensing is possible
with little influence caused by reflection ratio of the detection object.

MA Motion Sensor
The system detects whether an object is
present by the position of the received
light spot on a photo detector, so it is not
greatly affected by reflectivity.
