Sample Applications

Metal processing

Use in chip mounters for PCB detection

The thin sensor can be mounted in a confined space.

Detection of crack in bearing bushings

Surface cracks detected by taking advantage of irregular light reflection on cracks.

Detection of passage of coils

Sequential Array Scanning wide area sensor capable of detecting coils, which do not have enough mass to block light.

Detection of falling processed works

Objects with irregular forms falling at arbitrary points and then detected with Sequential Array Scanning wide area sensor.

Measurement of outer diameter of pipes

Light curtain with separate outputs for each optical axis is used for the purpose of measuring outer diameter of sorting pipes.

Detection of Passage of thin objects

Thin objects are detected by Sequential Array Scanning method.

Detection of loose wire rods

Wire hanging from loose wire rod carried by hook conveyor is detected (sensor used in combination with pinhole plates).

Detection of objects falling in inconstant points

Detecting irregular shaped objects falling in inconstant points.

Thin objects detection

Plate-shaped work passing in arbitrary area is detected with Sequential Array Scanning wide area sensor. Detection is unaffected by plate width.

Detection of remaining amount of coiled material

Remaining amount of coiled material is checked to preven operation without material and also for material joining.

Detection of overfill of press cuttings

Press cuttings detected as they fill the container. Note: Separate SUS protective covers are available.

Detection of defective taping of nails

Through beam fiber optic sensor used for detecting nails displaced in taping.

In the cross beam mode, moving objects at random orientation

In the cross beam mode, moving objects at random orientation can be detected down to 15 mm diameter. *1
(*1 Use the area 3/4 of the center between the transmitter and the receiver as an effective detection area to detect opaque objects 15 mm or more in diameter.)

Detects work items whose relative position varies
