MATERIALS HANDLING DETECTION
Product:
QT50U
Objective:
To detect the presence or absence of a target that may include
a non-perpendicular sensing surface.
Sensor Model:
QT50U with discrete output.
Operation:
In materials handling applications, the presence or absence of
diverse targets (for example, pallets) must be sensed reliably. The QT50U
can reliably sense targets that do not present a flat, perpendicular sensing
surface through its unique retrosonic sensing mode. When a pallet or
package of any size or shape is in the sensing location, the sensor does not
sense the floor and turns its output ON.
LIQUID LEVEL MEASURING IN CLEAR CONTAINERS
Product:
S18U
Objective:
Measure liquid levels in clear containers.
Sensor Models:
S18UBAR right-angle and S18UIA straight barrel sensors.
Operation:
The S18U is ideal for detecting clear objects and measuring
liquid levels, regardless of color or consistency. The unique right-angle
housing allows easy fixturing to peer over the sides of a conveyor.
END EFFECTOR POSITION FEEDBACK
Product:
S18U
Objective:
To provide proximity information to an assembly robot control.
Sensor Models:
S18UIA straight-barrel sensor.
Operation:
The lightweight ultrasonic sensor communicates to the robot
controller, the distance from the end effector to any object or surface.
LOOP TENSION MONITORING
Product:
Q45U
Objective:
To control web speed by monitoring loop tension.
Sensor Model:
Q45ULIU64ACR analog sensor.
Operation:
The analog Q45U ultrasonic sensor uses dual microprocessors
to smooth output response to web movement. The sensor ignores invalid
or erratic echoes. The smoothed output reduces stress on motors and
motor drives.
