1. An optoelectronic sensor for recognizing object edges of objects moved relative to the sensor, having a light transmission device with at least one light transmitter ( 23 ), in particular at least two light transmitters, for producing a respective collimated or focused transmitted light beam ( 31 ); having at least two light receivers ( 25 ) for imaging a light spot produced on an object ( 11 ) by the respective transmitted light beam ( 31 ), wherein the two light receivers ( 25 ) are arranged on two mutually opposite sides of the light transmission device; and having an evaluation unit ( 39 ) which is designed to compare the two received intensities of the two images of the respective light spot taken by the two light receivers ( 25 ) with one another and to evaluate the result of the respective comparison to recognize an object edge ( 41 ).
