EMBEDDED MINIATURE PHOTOELECTRIC DISTANCE SENSORS PROVIDE ANTI-COLLISION PROTECTION DURING AUTOMATED PRODUCTION

During automated production of electronic equipment, compact multi-finger robot grippers transport parts between operations.

EMBEDDED MINIATURE PHOTOELECTRIC DISTANCE SENSORS PROVIDE ANTI-COLLISION PROTECTION DURING AUTOMATED PRODUCTION

In the event of a malfunction or an unplanned human intervention, there’s an unacceptable collision hazard; designers insist on an overriding anti-collision system. Miniature distance sensors, embedded in the outward-facing surfaces of the gripper jaws, monitor the position of potential obstructions during travel, preventing accidents.

Customer Values
  • Embedded miniature distance sensors ensure reliable detection of potential obstructions, eliminating collision hazards
  • Compact 4 × 4 × 11 mm sensor envelope with no external housing allows easy integration in tight spaces
  • Sensing distances of up to 40 mm offer designers highly versatile options when specifying equipment
  • Industry-standard PNP analog output with a range of 0.1 V to 2.6 V allows scope for in-situ adjustment
  • Proven technology ensures fit-and-forget operation with no manual intervention
  • Non-contact solution maintains production throughput and avoids accidents
Specific Product Advantages
  • Miniature, housing-free photoelectric distance sensors suitable for easy integration
  • 0.1 V to 2.6 V analog output with PNP interface and minimal power consumption
  • Sensor weight only 3.1 grams with a compact 4 × 4 × 11 mm envelope
  • Industry-standard –25°C to +65°C operating range
  • Reliable, compact vibration-resistant sensors
