  • Photoelectric sensor with coaxial emission and receiving optical paths
    Patent number: 11163090
    Abstract: A coaxial photoelectric sensor may include both an optical emitter and optical receiver disposed on a printed circuit board. A total internal reflection optical component may be optically aligned with the optical emitter so as to reflect an illumination signal generated by the emitter. A reflective optical component may be optically aligned with the total internal reflection optical component so as reflect the illumination signal received from the total internal reflection optical component. A target reflector component may be optically aligned with the reflective optical component to coaxially reflect the illumination signal received from the reflective optical component. An optical detector may be configured to generate an electrical signal in response to receiving the illumination signal.
    Type: Grant
