Qtr sensors

Hi, I am using QTR-8RC for my line follower, the robot is an industrial robot for carrying boxes in the factory, my boss asked me to raise the distance for my sensors from 5mm to minimum 10mm, the floor color is gray to white and the line I use is Black, is there a posbility to make the sensors to read from that minimum 10 mm distance?

Hello.

You might consider one of our newer QTR reflectance sensors, particularly the QTRX sensors, which have an optimal sensing range of 10mm and a maximum range of 30-50mm depending on the version (though keep in mind the optimal and max ranges can vary with ambient conditions). Of the QTRX sensors, the QTRX-MD-8RC is probably the most comparable to the older QTR-8RC in terms of number of sensors and sensor placement and has a recommended maximum sensing distance of 40mm.
