Photoelectric Sensors are found in many industrial installations in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and they all basically perform the same function, the detection of objects passing through their beams. The result of the sensors beam being broken could be an alarm if an item is missing or a signal triggering another function of an industrial automation process.
When the application concerns very transparent items or ones that are deep-black in colour and/or feature very irregular surfaces, then you will need to look beyond the average sensor offering.
The Baumer O200 Sensor range is one of the smallest available, but make no mistake, these are very capable sensors! This impressive range of miniature photoelectric sensors have been designed to detect awkward objects with a fast response time and with the highest of precision. Available to purchase from Kempston Controls, they come with a laser or LED output, V point or line beam shapes, thus providing the engineer with a versatile list of options for precise object detection. Whether components are transparent, small, passing by on a fast-moving conveyor, deep-black in colour or irregularly shaped and shiny this range of sensors will have a solution in its ranks.
Unaffected by LED Light & Reflections with Ambient Light Immunity & Reliability
With their innovative light algorithm, these photoelectric sensors ensure maximum detection reliability in any lighting situation, the interfering sources identified by the algorithm are suppressed so a high measurement speed can be maintained.
With 3 sensing solutions for long-term stable detection of transparent objects such as glass or PET bottles, ampoules, foils and trays:
V-optics – ideal for short distances and for the detection of shiny and transparent objects, with background suppression for distances up to 15 mm. Offering maximum luminous efficacy thanks to their V-shaped, extremely narrow LED light beams.
SmartReflect – transparent object detection without a reflector with a pinpoint LED or a laser light source with ranges up to 180 mm. Contamination or changes in the reference surface are not a problem with built-in compensation for a consistent stable application.
Retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with single lens optics – A pinpoint LED or laser light source and a range of up to 4 m. With a transmitting and receiving beam on the same axis providing reliable object detection, built-in compensation for the reflector and an additional mode for the detection of tears in transparent films.
