Apertures
Opposed mode MINI-BEAM sensors may be fitted with apertures which narrow or shape the effective beam of the sensor to more closely match
the size or profile of the object to be sensed. A common example is the use of “line” or “slit” type aperture when wire or thread is be sensed.
Each model contains 20 apertures.

Right-Angle Reflectors
MINI-BEAM right-angle reflectors are useful for tight sensing
locations. NOTE: These reflectors significantly decrease excess gain.
