Edited by the Engineeringtalk Editorial Team on 17 April 2008

Photoelectric sensors handle varied
targets

BrightVision active ambient light suppression allows the PRK 3b opto-sensors to recognise spurious light and distinguish between its own sensor signal and the interference source.

Leuze PRK 3b photoelectric sensors are capable of detecting components measuring less than 0.1mm For standard applications with a scanning range up to 400mm, the PRK 3b series has extremely good black and white performance and provides reliable switching operation, irrespective of the object and background properties

This variant suits diverse applications in the assembly and handling sectors including conveying of miniature containers, as well as printing or labelling applications.

In an XL version this sensor provides reliable detection of objects with gaps, boreholes and grooves, for instance when scanning PCBs, transparent films or bottles, or grid-type structures of the kind encountered in blister packs and objects with changeable positions.

The S version has been optimised for the detection of small components and structured, coloured or shiny objects.

The PRK 3b an outstanding miniature sensor range ideal for helping in the automation of production and processing applications improving quality and efficiency.

The sensor has a 32 x 11 x 17mm housing and is IP67 and IP69K-rated for areas with intensive cleaning cycles.

BrightVision active ambient light suppression allows the PRK 3b opto-sensors to recognise spurious light and distinguish between its own sensor signal and the interference source. Request a free brochure from Leuze Mayser ...
