# How can we let customers understand photoelectric sensors?

## Photoelectric sensors explanation

Photoelectric sensors from Balluff reliably recognize the presence/absence of objects. They check shape, color, distance or thickness equally reliably. This is because they have a significantly greater detection range compared to inductive or capacitive technology.
