Mounting Near Walls
Errors will occur if light reflected off a wall surface is received by the Sensor. If it
is not possible to mount the Sensor away from the wall, mount in the way shown
below, i.e., so that the plane containing the emission axis and the reception axis
is parallel to the wall surface. Also, applying matt black coating to the wall sur-
face will help to reduce the amount of light reflected.
Narrow Grooves or Indentations
If measurement is performed in an indentation between two walls, or in a
groove, mount the Sensor in the way shown below, i.e., so that the path along
the emission and reception axes is not interrupted by a wall.
Level Differences
When measuring workpieces with level differences, the influence of the level dif-
ference can be minimized by mounting the Sensor so that the plane containing
the emission axis and the reception axis is parallel to the boundary between the
different levels.
