  • Patent number: 10436901
    Abstract: An optoelectronic sensor (10), in particular a laser scanner, is provided having a light transmitter (12) for transmitting a scanning beam (16) into a monitored zone (20); having a light receiver (26) for generating a received signal from the scanning beam (22) remitted by objects in the monitored zone (20); having a movable deflection unit (18) for a periodical deflection of the scanning beam (16, 22) in order to scan the monitored zone (20) in the course of the movement; having an evaluation unit (34) that is configured to recognize whether there are objects in at least one detection field within the monitored zone (20) with reference to the received signal; and having a projector (42) for visualizing information of the sensor (10) in the monitored zone (20). In this respect, the projector (42) is configured to visualize the detection field.
