A mechanically adjustable sensing cutoff point allows a family of laser sensors to detect small objects with relatively low reflectivity while ignoring background objects immediately behind the set cutoff point.
The Q60 Series Laser Adjustable-Field Sensors are available in two range versions. The sensing cutoff point can be set from 200mm to 1400mm in the Class 1 version and from 200mm to 2000mm in the extended range Class 2 version. “With a tightly collimated sensing point and extended sensing range, the Q60 sensors are ideal for error-proofing applications,” says Joe Dolinsky, technical manager for photoelectric products at the vendor. “The accuracy of the Q60 at small feature detection is well suited to verifying punched holes, performing parts detection or looking for unusual assembly positioning in automotive applications.” The Q60 Series is available in a universal voltage format of 12 to 250VDC or 24 to 250VAC operation, in addition to the widely used standard 10 to 30VDC format. Pricing on the Q60 Series sensors begins at $264.
