    I have yet to see an optical ABS sensor. Most are some some sort of inductive pickup.

    Short answer: No

    Most likley an inductive proximity sensor not optical....Its sensing the metal and the gaps between it, not seeing them per say(optical)...

    My CNC machines have a mix of optical and proxy sensors on them, the proxy are not affected by dirt and dust like the optical ones are...

    It would be a reluctance sensor rather than an inductive one, but still no issue with cleaning.
