Abstract

See full text

Provided is a distance measuring photoelectric sensor capable of freely changing a size of a spot diameter of detection light. A distance measuring photoelectric sensor is configured by: a light emitting element which generates detection light; a light projecting lens which is arranged on an optical axis of the light emitting element and is configured to project the detection light toward a detection region; and an optical path length adjustment mechanism which adjusts an optical path length of the detection light from the light emitting element to the light projecting lens. A size of a spot diameter of the detection light to be used for measurement of the distance is freely selectable by the optical path length adjustment mechanism.
