English term or phrase: produce pulses
list of applications for laser sensors

"Gear Tooth Sensing
XXX Series slot sensors provide an economical way to reliably produce pulses from timing gears used in automated production machinery.
Objective:
Sense teeth of timing gear"

...might these pulses be pulsed output signals? (maybe for counting teeth?)

Selected answer:generate (digital) pulse signals
Explanation:
HE950 sensors monitor gear-teeth, spokes, or keyways and produce a digital pulse signal for use with speed switches, tachometers, counters, and signal conditioners, or as a direct pulse input into PLCs.

The Hall-Effect devices have potential uses for detecting and counting magnetic signals from ferrous gear teeth related to the robot operation. An example might be counting the teeth on a gear to determine range of motion for an arm extension or for speed and/or distance traveled. Click on the Gear Tooth Sensor

agree  Tony M: Yes, it is a pulse signal, i.e. a signal that consists of s eries of pulses (and NOT a 'pulsed signal, which would mean something slightly different) -- and yes, for counting the teeth, exactly
