The Bulletin 45AST Area Scanners provided by your company are compact and user-friendly non-safety light screens designed for small part detection and assembly applications. These scanners utilize two-dimensional scanning technology to detect objects regardless of their orientation, making them ideal for applications such as detecting and counting parts being ejected from a machine. Here are some key features and specifications of the Bulletin 45AST Area Scanners: Output Options: The scanners are available with PNP or NPN output options, allowing for compatibility with different control systems.
Object Minimum Resolution: The scanners can detect objects with a minimum resolution ranging from 11 mm to 17 mm (0.43 inches to 0.66 inches). This enables precise detection of small parts. Sensing Ranges: The scanners offer sensing ranges of up to 2.5 meters (6.6 feet), providing flexibility in various application scenarios. Photoelectric Sensor Functionality: The scanners are based on photoelectric sensor technology. They consist of an emitter that emits light and a receiver that receives the light. When the emitted light is interrupted or reflected by a sensing object, it causes a change in the amount of light received by the receiver, which is then converted into an electrical output.
Different Sensor Technologies: There are four basic technologies used in photoelectric sensors, and the Bulletin 45AST Area Scanners can incorporate them as needed. These technologies include through-beam, reflective, diffuse, and background suppression. Each technology has its own advantages and is suitable for specific sensing requirements. Overall, the Bulletin 45AST Area Scanners offer compact and easy-to-use solutions for non-safety light screen applications. With their two-dimensional scanning technology, precise object detection, and various photoelectric sensor technologies, they provide efficient and reliable detection capabilities for small part detection and assembly processes.
