Retro-Reflex Sensors for Transparent Objects
2. For Your Safety
2.1 Use for Intended Purpose
The product is based on the following functional principle:
Retro-Reflex Sensors for Clear Glass Recognition
Reflex sensors for clear glass recognition can be adjusted so precisely that they can reliably recognize highly
transparent objects such as glass, glass bottles or sheet products. Even shiny, chromed or reflective surfaces
can be reliably detected thanks to the integrated polarization filter.
The transmitter and receiver are located in a single housing and require a reflector to work. The output
switches if the light beam between the sensor and reflector is interrupted. The visible light spot of retro-reflex
sensors facilitates adjustment and commissioning. Depending on the sensor type, even small objects up to
0.1mm can be reliably detected over long distances.
