I contacted Keyence regarding the unit that would work best. As mentioned elsewhere in the forums, the recommended units are:
Sensor: FU-20
Amplifier: FS-N41P
Here is the quote I received from Keyence for those units. Together, the cost is $370 (minus whatever discount they throw at you. In my case, 15% for “prototyping”).
That’s a steep price. If we can get the same data from a reflective sensor at a fraction of the cost (our current plan), then I’ll gladly take that over this.
