Photoelectric Sensor Efficiently Discovers Clear Objects

Published:2011/11/22 22:04:00 Author:Amy From:SeekIC

Banner Engineering announced the Q26 Series photoelectric sensor to detect clear object. The device adopts a polarized retro coaxial design, offering reliable detection of clear, translucent or opaque objects. It can operate at short distances and deliver precise leading edge detection, which is an ideal option for detection applications such as filling and bottling machines, flat glass or LCD manufacturing, pharmaceutical vials or bag filling machines, or any high-speed application.

With a compact cubic shape with 20 mm mounting hole spacing, the Q26 can be quick installed in tight locations. The sensor’s coaxial optics make it operate over a wide range of distances with the reflector mounted as close as 5 mm for applications with restricted spaces.

With a design focus on simple user set-up and adjustment, the Q26 Series is optimized for clear object detection. It delivers both the sensitivity required for reliable clear object detection and the robust rejection of light from mirror-like objects to prevent a false detection. The coaxial optical design delivers the additional benefit of precise leading edge detection, making it useful for many high speed applications in bottling, canning and packaging industries.

The Q26 includes a LO/DO switch to control the output type, and a single turn potentiometer to adjust detection sensitivity. It also equipped with a Health Mode output for application monitoring to communicate operation and connection status—allowing the user to ensure reliable sensor performance.

The Q26 performs with a response speed of 250 microseconds. The sensor is also protected against damage from potential mis-wiring during installation and transient voltage spikes during operation.
