Budget UV sensor outperforms big vision systems
The UVX 300 is a novel UV luminescence sensor claimed to detect targets more reliably than vision systems that typically cost ten times more.
The paper begins with a brief overview of optical sensor basics and then offers essential considerations in sensor commissioning.
Readers also learn the best uses and characteristics of the major optical sensors designed for automation, including: contrast sensors, colour sensors, colour mark sensors and luminescence sensors.
The paper's final section discusses photoelectric-sensor selection considerations, providing key questions that potential users need to ask in order to select the ideal device for their applications.
The questions focus on variables that may affect a sensor's operation - such as whether the object to be measured is glossy or matte, its size, the speed at which it is moving when measured, and the distance and mounting conditions under which it is measured.
