Abstract

The optical sensor has a fixed light source (3), a fixed light detector (4) at a defined distance from the light source and a light transfer device (6,7) attached to the movable device in which the products are to be detected for transferring light from the source to the detector when the movable device passes the fixed light source. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for transporting and moving sheet products and a method of detecting sheet products.
