Retroreflective sensor puts it on the
line
The S65-Z series is a retroreflective line sensor for accurate measurement of the centre or edge position and width of objects.
The S65-Z series is a retroreflective line sensor for accurate measurement of the centre or edge position and width of objects The S65-Z line sensor is particular suitable for a wide range of industrial automation applications, such as packaging, printing and assembly machines

New 18mm sensors with laser emission promise a bright future The market place for 18mm cylindrical optos has always been considered to be extremely competitive.
The detection is made on a reflective tape, supplied with the sensor, which must be positioned behind the object to be detected.
The S65-Z detects objects as small as 0.9mm and has a resolution of 0.15mm, with a 150mm maximum measurement field width at a 200mm operating distance.
The 4-20mA analogue output is proportional to the measurement, while the PNP or NPN digital output is activated when the measured value is within the boundaries set by the operator.
An alarm signal is activated when the luminous intensity received is weak, as for example in presence of dirt on the lens.
The setting is accomplished through three pushbuttons present on the control panel, together with the output status LED, two LEDs signalling the operating mode, an alarm LED and a four-digit display for the visualisation of the measurement and sensor configuration messages.
Models with the RS485 serial interface offer the remote setting of all the programmable functions as well as the transmission of the measurements to an industrial PC or similar.
The electrical connection is made through a standard M12 8-pole connector.
