Description

High detection stability by using C-MOS element

• C-MOS linear image sensor
• “SEN” automatic sensitivity control function
• Equipped with FGS mode

Industry’s first!* C-MOS linear image sensor

*As a distance setting type. Optex FA examination performed August 2003.

With the linear image sensor method, the position at which reflected light is received most along a row of elements arranged in a straight line can be accurately detected. By accurately detecting the peak value of a received light waveform, any errors caused by the color of a workpiece or any surface roughness can be shut out.

“SEN ” automatic sensitivity control function

Sensitivity is automatically adjusted to the optimal level in accordance with the amount of light received by the sensor. Sensitivity is automatically increased for black-colored surfaces with low levels of reflected light and is automatically decreased for white or glossy surfaces with high levels of reflected light. Stable detection is also possible for glossy surfaces in which light levels undulate and are not constant. (Response time: Max. 14 ms)
