Positioning Prox Sensors on Conveyor for Automated Inspection
A “start” sensor should be mounted in a location that activates as soon as the surface to be measured is
entering a position for the Lasercheck head to measure (indicated by laser beam being fully positioned at the
front edge of the measurement area of the part). A “Stop” sensor should be mounted in a location that activates
as soon as the surface to be measured is leaving a position for the Lasercheck head to measure (indicated by
laser beam being fully positioned at the front edge of the measurement area of the part). Both of these sensors
should be wired to the “Input” connector on the back of the control box as described in the Appendix – Input
and Output Pinouts section.
“Start” and “Stop” Sensor Wiring Inputs
External inputs to trigger the starting and stopping of measurements can be push buttons, foot pedals, proximity
sensors, or any type of input that momentarily closes contacts. Wire the inputs as indicated in the Appendix –
Input and Output Pinouts.
