Claim 0:
1. An optoelectronic sensor for detecting objects in a monitored region, the optoelectronic sensor comprising:
at least one light transmitter for transmitting a plurality of light beams separated from one another and each starting from a respective individual transmission point located at the at least one light transmitter;
a common transmission optics for the transmitted light beams;
at least one light receiver for generating a respective received signal from the remitted light beams reflected from the objects and each being incident at a respective individual reception point located at the at least one light receiver, and
a common reception optics for the remitted light beams and an evaluation unit for obtaining information on the objects from the received signals,
wherein the transmission points are arranged on a first circular line and/or the reception points are arranged on a second circular line,
wherein the at least one light transmitter, the common transmission optics, the at least one light receiver, and the common reception optics rotate together about a common axis of rotation to periodically scan the monitored region, and
wherein at least one of the at least one light transmitter and the at least one light receiver form components having basic surfaces, wherein the basic surfaces are at least partly rotated with respect to one another in a plane defined by a corresponding one of the first and/or second circular lines.
