Claim 0:
1. A sensor for detecting objects in a monitored zone, the sensor comprising:
at least one transmitter for transmitting a transmission signal;
at least one receiver for generating a received signal from the transmitted signal reflected back by the objects;
a base unit;
a scanning unit movable about an axis of rotation with respect to the base unit for a periodic scanning of the monitored zone;
a control and evaluation unit for detecting information on the objects with reference to the received signal; and
an inductive energy transmission unit provided between the base unit and the scanning unit that comprises a first guide element of the base unit and a second guide element of the scanning unit for guiding the magnetic field of the inductive energy transmission;
wherein the guide elements have an L-shaped cross-section; and
wherein the guide elements are divided into at least two respective guide segments in the peripheral direction.
