LIGHT SOURCE SELECTION

Infrared Light Source
Invisible light – recommended in opaque object sensing applications. Infrared LED light source provides long-range sensing in either Beam Make or Beam Break modes. Infrared light maximizes the sensor’s ability to penetrate contamination found in harsh environments.

Red (Visible) Light Source
Visible red LED light source recommended for sensing transparent/translucent objects. Outperforms infrared light in many moderate to low contrast applications. Also recommended for use with plastic fiberoptic light guides.

Features and Options:

500 microseconds response time
Potentiometer range adjustment
Cable or quick disconnect
NPN and PNP outputs
DIN rail, bracket, or through-hole mounting
Interchangeable Optical Blocks

Benefits:

Easy to use
Lower maintenance costs
Reduce downtime
Improve machine throughput

Interchangeable optical blocks provide for universal application of the OPTI-EYE^® to any sensingapplications from large object sensing to finite sensing of small parts, and product inspection tasks.
