Retro-reflective sensor – Has an eye for transparent objects
Baumer introduces its new and improved retro-reflective sensor FRDK 14 for transparent objects. Thanks to the new housing concept, the photoelectric sensor can be adjusted easily and quickly via a teach-in button.
The high sensitivity of this retro-reflective sensor allows for it to detect glass, transparent packaging or PET bottles safely. Due to the short response time of only 0.1 ms, edges of moving, transparent foils can be positioned exactly. At the same time, it is irrelevant whether the object is directly in front of the sensor or closer to the reflector. The short adaptation time of only 20 ms permits the sensor to be taught subsequently or to be adjusted to changing tasks via an external teach-in connection while the process is running.
In addition to the red light sensor there is also a laser version available. This sensor is particularly suitable for applications with higher precision requirements. The Series 14 sensors are all available with the standard cable, M8 or M12 connections. To facilitate the installation, Baumer offers a frame adapter. This accessory allows for the sensor to be inserted into a cut-out in a steel sheet without using screws or tools.
