CONVERGENT Mode VALU-BEAM convergent sensors produce a precise .06" diameter sensing spot at a focus point 1.5" in
front of the sensor lens. Due to their very narrow depth of field, they excel at detecting small objects only
a fraction of an inch away from backgrounds. They are also ideal for some high-contrast color-registration
Oerect applications. Their visible red sensing beam simplifies alignment.
