The Checker 101E is a new model of the vendor’s Checker family of sensors, billed as the first sensors available that use patterns to detect and inspect parts, improving reliability.
The Checker 101E offers all the simplicity and power of the original Checker 101, plus it directly accepts encoder signals, eliminating the need for a PLC when tracking and rejecting parts on variable-speed production lines. “Unlike the shift register of a PLC, which requires programming, Checker’s shift register is automatic, enabling it to accurately track up to 4,000 parts between the inspection and rejection point,” says Brian Phillips, a vice president at the vendor. The Checker 101E can acquire and process more than 500 images per second.
