Seal detection for small pieces in the film seals
The Z3T-2500NIR is the infrared LED type photoelectric sensor that can detect small pieces in film seals in the pancake packaging process.
Its IR LEDs have stronger penetrating power than red LEDs, so the sensors ensure accurate detection of small pieces through package films. The sensors are also contamination-resistant, reducing the frequency at which they need to be cleaned.
Model: Amplifier Built-in Sensor Z3T-2500NIR
Detecting Presence of Cookies and Pass/Failure
The BGS-HDL C-MOS laser sensor can detect the presence of cookies and whether they pass or fail.
With the BGS-HDL, there are two control outputs so the presence of cookies can be detected using output 1 and whether they pass or fail can be detected by the height difference using output 2. You can reduce the number of sensors from 2 to 1 using the BGS-HDL.
Model: High-resolution C-MOS Laser Sensor BGS-HDL Series
Presence Detection of Glossy and Transparent Pouches
The BGS-HDL series enables detection of thin food pouches with high gloss.
The FGS mode of the BGS-HDL series ensures stable detection even with transparent pouches, glossy pouches or those with color patterns, and thin pouches. In FGS mode, if the light is reflected from anything other than the background, detection is positive.
Because output is enabled even when laser reception is not possible, stable detection is possible even for highly glossy targets and transparent targets.
Model: C-MOS laser BGS sensor BGS-HDL Series
Detecting existence of glass plates in the rack
Limited reflective type Fiber-Optic Cables NF-DC06 can detect each glass plate in the rack.
It detects stably even if the glass plate warps because of its special structure.
Controlling each Fiber-Optic Sensors 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 + NF-DC06
Detecting existence of O ring
Accurate C-MOS laser BGS sensor BGS-HL can detect existence of very small and thin object like O ring because of its one of the features, digital subpixel process.
Model: Accurate C-MOS laser BGS sensor BGS-HL Series
Detecting the presence of parts in index table
BGS-Z10 can detect object with various colors and materials.
Model: Standard size BGS Sensor BGS-Z10
Detect presence of washer
Laser sensor head DSTA-200 can detect the presence of washer.
It detects object in the laser beam 30mm width area.
Model: Digital amplifier and laser sensor head D2SA + DSTA-200
Checking existence of electronic components
Compact size BGS sensor BGS-S03 can detect existence of electronic components on the tray.
BGS sensor can detect object with any color. BGS-S03 can detect small parts because of its small spot size, φ1.5mm.
Model: Compact size BGS sensor BGS-S03
Detecting existence of parts
DSTA-200 can detect existence of small parts within its laser beam, 30mm width.
Because of the laser beam, it can detect object at unstable position. It also detects the size of vacuum pads and parts.
Model: Digital laser sensor head DSTA-200
Detecting presence of lead wire
Detect thin lead wire of φ0.1mm Minimum by using NF-TT01 which has fine core.
Model: Fiber-Optic Cables for detecting of small objects NF-TT01
Attaching sensor head at the robot arm
Flexible, bending radius: 4mm, Fiber-Optic Cables NF-DR01 can be attached at the robot arm and detect small object at any position the robot arm locates.
Model: Flexible R4mm Fiber-Optic Cables NF-DR01
Long range detection of wafer
Long range laser BGS sensor TOF-L can detect existence of the wafer on the robot hand.
It can detect the wafer even the wafer position is high or low in 0 to 4.5 meter range.
Model: Long range laser BGS sensor TOF-L Series
Detection of FOUP
Limited reflection type Fiber-Optic Cables NF-DC38 can detect FOUP even if the FOUP is transparent.
Model: Limited reflection type NF-DC38
Detecting pills
Controlling, saving setup and restoring setup of each Fiber-Optic Sensors 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 caps of vial bottles
Fiber-Optic Sensors D3RF and reflective Fiber-Optic Cables 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-Optic Sensors + Reflective type Fiber-Optic Cables D3RF + NF-DT01
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
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
Detecting glossy plastic bag
Although Thru-beam type is used for detecting glossy object normally, retro-reflective type sensor Z2R-400N can detect glossy object stably because its polarizing filter built-in.
Model: Built-in amplifier retro-reflective type sensor Z2R-400N
