Analog Universal Reflex Sensors
These Analog Universal Reflex Sensors are equipped for use with Glass Fiber Optic Cables. They can be used with or without a Glass Fiber Optic Cable. Reflex and through beam operations are both possible.
The use of a Glass Fiber Optic Cable is especially advantageous when difficult to access locations and in high temperature zones of up to 300 °C, as well as in applications with limited space availability.
Applications
- Object recognition
- Edge detection
- Use in high temperature zones of up to 300 °C
- Applications with limited space availability
- Recognition of objects inside packages
UF_MG
These sensors are equipped with an analog output. They are intended for distance measurement applications.
UF_MV
These sensors are equipped with an analog output. They are intended for use as light barriers. Output voltage is proportional to the obstructed portion of the glass fiber bundle.
Fiber Optic Cables
Step index fibers are used for all Glass Fiber Optic Cables. They are highly resistant to chemicals and excessive temperatures. Glass Fiber Optic Cable can be used in reflex mode, as well as in through beam mode operation.
Glass Fiber Optic Cables curtains work by the single barrier principle. If these Glass Fiber optic cable curtains are used in combination with an Analog Universal Reflex Sensor, the length of the slot corresponds to the analog range. If an Universal Reflex Sensor with switching output is utilized, the switching point can be adjusted so that the output is switched when the light slot is obstructed to a defined extent.
Interface
Sensor functions can be activated and scanning results can be acquired via the RS-232 interface. A comfortable parametrization and a fast diagnosis is possible via the IO-Link interface and the original data is available.
Adjustments
Adjustments are performed with a potentiometer. With Teach-In versions, adjustments are made with the appropriate keys, externally or via the RS-232 interface respectively via the IO-Link interface.
