BWML Series Line Beam Mapping Sensors
The BWML series line beam mapping sensors are optimized for glass substrate detection by using location image mapping method to minimize non-detection area and influence from harsh external conditions. The sensors support CC-Link and EtherCAT communication protocols and feature channel editing function which allows users to change pixels or edit sensing channel area with a connected PC. IP67 protection structure allows stable and error-free operation even in wet or dusty environments. The line beam mapping sensors can be used to detect display panels on transport cassettes.
1. Stable glass substrate detection using line beam detection with minimal non-detection area
2. Sensing distance: 95 ±10 mm
3. Customized models available: sensing channels (8 to 62 channels), sensing target pitch (min. 20 mm), sensing area (280 to 1595 mm)
BWC Series Cross-Beam Area Sensors
The BWC cross-beam type area sensors utilize a 3-point cross-beam method detection to minimize non-detection area and provide reliable detection. 14 different configurations are available based on the number of optics, optical pitch, and detection area size. The sensors provide reliable detection even in areas with high ambient lighting, up to 100,000 lux. Also, the self-diagnosis output function minimizes detection error from dust or debris. The series also features various user-friendly functions including installation mode function, mutual interference prevention function, and self-diagnosis functions.
1. 3-point cross-beam type detection minimizes non-detection area
2. Long sensing distance up to 7 m
3. 7 configurations (number of optics : 4 to 20 / optical pitch : 40, 80 mm / detection area : 120 to 1,040 mm)
BW Series General Purpose Area Sensors
The BW series general purpose area sensors feature long sensing distance up to 7 m and are available in 22 different configurations based on the number of optics, optical pitch, and detection area size. With ambient illuminance limit of 100,000 lux, the sensors can operate error-free even under direct sunlight. Bright LED indicators are present in both the emitter and the receiver, making it easy to identify the operation status. Mutual interference prevention is possible with master/slave connection method, allowing multiple units to be installed in a row.
