Can I use photoelectric sensors to make auto bed levellingleveling on a glass bed?

I'm pretty much a noob at 3dto the 3D printing community. I got a Creality CR10 V2 as my fisrt 3dfirst 3D printer and I know it's compatible with BLTouch but not included in the package. So I'm dying to add an ABL feature to my 3d3D printer but I'm on an extremely tight budget right now. However, I found some industrial IR sensors (two Omron E3Z-D82 and five Keyence PZ-M71) in my toolboxes. I know those sensors are pretty expensive and totally overkill for ABV but I want to use what I got in my hands. 

So the question, I can I use those sensors for auto bed leveling.? I should say that my printer has a glass build plate. By the way, I'm also open to different cheap alternatives

Here isare the links ofto the sensors for more information

Thanks in advance.
