Detecting pills

Detecting pills

Controlling, saving setup and restoring setup of each fiber amplifier can be done through CC-Link utilizing communication unit UC1-CL1 connected to Mitsubishi MELSEC-Q/L series efficiently as well.

Model:  UC1-CL1 + D3RF




Detecting existence of the medicine bottle

Detecting existence of the medicine bottle

Detecting existence of the medicine bottle by limited reflective fiber cable is possible at robot arm that picks up the bottle. The thickness of the sensor head is only 4mm so it can be installed in narrow space. And it is a limited reflective sensor which works stably even if the color of the bottle varies.

Model: Limited reflective type fiber cable  NF-DC38




Detecting existence of caps of vial bottles

Detecting existence of caps of vial bottles

Digital fiber sensor amplifier D3RF and reflective fiber cable NF-DT01 can detect existence of caps of vial bottles.
By attaching lens NF-DA04 at the sensor head of NF-DT01, the spot size will be adjusted φ0.5mm Minimum. And small and thin cap can be detected stably because of the pin-pointing.

Model: Fiber sensor amplifier + Reflective type fiber cable  D3RF + NF-DT01




Detecting right side and wrong side of the box

Detecting right side and wrong side of the box

Standard size BGS sensor BGS-Z10 can detect right side and wrong side of the box before goods is put into the box.
BGS-Z10 detects distance (not the amount of light received), so it can detect right side and wrong side of the box.

Model: Standard size BGS sensor  BGS-Z10




Detecting blister packages

Detecting blister packages

Distance setting type BGS sensor BGS-Z10 can detect existence of blister packages during conveyance process.
BGS-Z10 detects blister packages stably even if its color varies and it is glossy or not. It prevents downtime of packaging process.

Model: Standard size BGS sensor  BGS-Z10




Counting boxes before making them to boxes

Counting boxes before making them to boxes

Laser BGS sensor BGS-ZL10 can detect thin folded boxes before making them into boxes because of its small spot size.

Model: Standard size laser BGS sensor  BGS-ZL10




Detecting existence of the bottle in the individual packing box

Detecting existence of the bottle in the individual packing box

Detecting existence of the bottle in the individual packing box by BGS sensor is possible.
The sensor detects distance (not the amount of light received) so it works stably even if the color of the bottle varies.

Model: Standard size BGS sensor  BGS-Z10




Liquid detection in transparent bottle

Liquid detection in transparent bottle

NF-TW01 for water detection detects whether transparent bottle is filled with clear liquid or not.
(Use dedicated amplifier, D3IF-T or BIF)

Model: Liquid level, Liquid leakage. Water detection  NF-TW01




Instillation bag detection

Instillation bag detection

Detect transparent work piece by using retro-reflective type NF-RR01.
No influences on detection by using built-in polarized filter even if its surface is shiny.

Model: Retro-reflection  NF-RR01




Tablet counting

Tablet counting

Detect with array-type NF-TS14 which make sensing light to be the width and flatness of 10mm.
In case tablets are passing through irregularly, NF-TS19 with the width of 30mm array is also lined up.

Model: Screen array  NF-TS14




Detect cushioning in tablet glass bottle

Detect cushioning in tablet glass bottle

Array type FD-ML02 detects plastic cushioning in glass bottle.
Wide array of light detects unleveled surface of plastic cushioning.

Model: Screen array  FD-ML02




Detect defect seal on instillation bag

Detect defect seal on instillation bag

Digital laser DR-Q (Transparent detection type) detects defect seal on instillation bag.
When it's sealed deviated, DR-Q detects small difference in light reflection.

Model: Laser sensor (Transparent detection type)  DR-Q150T




Drug detection in dropper

Drug detection in dropper

Detect drug in dropper by the combination of NF-TW01 and water detection amplifier D3IF-T.
As D3IF executes its operation with 1.45μm of infrared light which is the same level as the absorption into water, stable detection without influences from dropper color and stain is available.
Custom-ordered 1.35μm is ready for sale.

Model: Liquid level, Liquid leakage. Water detection  NF-TW01




Detecting level of liquid for intravenous drip injection

Detecting level of liquid for intravenous drip injection

Infrared type fiber sensor amplifier D3IF and thru-beam type glass core fiber cable NF-TW01 can detect level of liquid for intravenous drip injection in inspection process of the equipment.
Lower fiber cables detect the level of the liquid is too less and upper fiber cables detect too much.

Model: Amplifier D3IF and thru-beam fiber cable  NF-TW01




Detecting direction of syringe tray

Detecting direction of syringe tray

C-MOS laser BGS sensor BGS-DL10T can detect direction of syringe tray.
Its laser spot size is φ1mm Minimum so it can detect bottom of the tray even if the groove is very narrow.

Model: C-MOS laser BGS sensor  BGS-DL10T




Counting pills

Counting pills

Diffuse type fiber cable NF-DT02 can detect existence of pills. Length of the sleeve of the fiber cable is 15mm so alignment is easy and also cross talk can be prevented by using function of D3RF.

Model: Amplifier D3RF, Sleeve type flexible fiber cable  NF-DT02




Detecting wrong caps on the production line

Detecting wrong caps on the production line

Color / Mark sensor DM-18T can detect wrong caps on the production line.
Teaching is very easy that just place wrong cap below the sensor at beam spot and push the teaching button. Preparation for changing product on the line will be very simple.
