Detecting grains in resin-molded products
Using fiber sensors to detect the grains in a molded product makes it possible to determine whether a resin-molded product has been assembled correctly.
Because the grains are only about Φ4 mm, attaching the small spot lens NF-DA02 to the fiber unit allows for a smaller detection spot for easier differentiation. With no grains, the product will be nearly transparent, allowing for easy transmission of light. With grains, however, the light is diffused, increasing the received light amount and ensuring reliable detection. At a sensing distance of 15 mm, the NF-DA02 has a spot size of Φ1.4 mm, larger than that of a normal lens for more reliable identification of diffuse light and improved detection stability.
Model: Fiber Unit NF-DT01 + Small Spot Lens NF-DA02
Controlling drill bit direction
The screen fiber unit NF-TZ07 can determine whether drill bits are correctly positioned during transferring.
With 32 mm width light screen, the NF-TZ07 can detect variations in the received light amount due to differences between tip and end of a drill bit, enabling reliable direction detection.
Model: Screen Fiber Unit NF-TZ07
Positioning Automotive Components
The BGS-HDL series is used for positioning during automotive component assembly.
Detecting holes at an angle is difficult with photoelectric sensors, but The BGS-HDL series allows for stable detection, even when mounting is only possible diagonally, by using "AUTO mode" to always detect with the optimal sampling period.
Model: High-resolution C-MOS Laser Sensor BGS-HDL Series
Shaft Direction and Motor Float Detection
Using the BGS-HDL series makes it possible to determine the direction of an actuator shaft and to detect floating (flange detection) when a motor is attached.
With two control outputs, the BGS-HDL series is capable of separate detections by using Output 1 for determining the shaft direction, and using Output 2 for motor float.
This means that all the work in applications that would conventionally require two sensors can be done with just a single sensor.

Detecting engine block on the conveyer
Stainless steel housing sensor Z-M series is good for the environment that the sensor may get oil splash especially cable for connector type has PUR sheath which is resistant to the oil.
Model: Stainless steel housing amplifier built-in sensor Z-M Series
Counting rolling frequency of cam
Accurate C-MOS laser BGS sensor BGS-HL can detect metal parts stably even if the object surface get angled and reflective or not reflective because of automatic adjusting sampling frequency function.

Checking size of parts
DSTA-200 can check the size of metal parts utilizing its 30mm width collimated light beam. It can detect object stably even if the position of the objects varies in its 30mm width beam area.
Model: Digital laser sensor head DSTA-200
Detecting clips on the door assemblies
Sensor head DSD-100 can detect small parts utilizing its laser beam.
Applied class2 laser achieves long distance detection, the parts won't get any damages from the laser beam.
Model: Digital laser sensor head DSD-100
Detecting glass plate for automotive
The retro-reflective type laser sensor DR-Q400T can detect glass plate for automotive windows even if its thickness and width varies.
Model: Laser sensor for detecting transparent object DR-Q400T
Detecting body in the coating process
Fiber cable NF-TX01 can detect the body in the coating process.
Detection in explosion-proof area is available by mounting only fiber cable in coating process line.
The length of the fiber cable is 20m long so it can be easily handled mounted in any process line.
Model: M12 threaded thru-beam type fiber cable NF-TX01
Detecting wrong parts on the production line
Fiber sensor amplifier D3RF and screen array fiber cable NF-TZ09 can detect the wrong parts on the line by checking diameter of the parts.
NF-TZ09 has beam light of 11mm width and can detect objects in that area.
Model: Screen array fiber cable NF-TZ09
