Answer
One of the causes is estimated to be a decrease in light current due to aging of the Photomicrosensors LED. In this case, the circuit design should be reviewed.
Explanation
LED elements have the characteristic that the light emission output gradually decreases over time. Because the Photomicrosensors use a non-contact detection method, they have higher reliability than mechanical switches and are effective in extending the life of equipment. However, it is based on a circuit design that takes into account the aging of the LED. By setting a threshold with sufficient margin, stable detection over a long period of time can be performed on the equipment.
