4.1 Transparent Mode Set
Use Transparent mode for low contrast applications where the object
is not present during the teach process. Transparent mode is the
default sensing mode and is best for most clear object detection
applications.
Example Applications For Offset Percentages
8%
Recommended for very low contrast applications with stable
environmental conditions.
16%
Recommended for most clear object detection applications in
typical machine industrial environments.
32%
Recommended for high contrast detections such as brown or
green bottles, or opaque objects. This setting tolerates
environmental challenges such as vibrations and dust build-up.
