Sensor detects transparent materials

A Schneider Electric product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 21, 2007

Osiris from Telemecanique XUBT resolves all the problems associated with the detection of transparent materials.

Osiris from Telemecanique, a brand of Schneider Electric, offers detection of all transparent materials using the first O18 cylindrical photo-electric sensor which features colinear optics and genuine concentrated performance.

Even for facetted or corrugated objects, packaging films, PVC and food containers the Osiris cylindrical XUBT range assures detection without rebound or magnifying effects.

It resolves all the problems associated with the delicate detection of transparent materials.

Its optics enable detection from the lens, therefore eliminating the "blind" zones where previously there was a risk of objects passing unnoticed.

Adjustment is simple, a single press on the "teach" button automatically adjusts the XUBT for the majority of applications and no re-adjustment is required in the event of the object being changed.

A second optional press enables fine adjustment for the more complicated transparent objects.

Included with the sensor is the new micro prism precision reflector XUZC50HP, to meet the most demanding applications.

The IP69K stainless steel versions are currently the only ones on the market.

Intended for severe environments and, in particular, food and beverage processing, they have excellent mechanical resistance.

The range is suited to applications including; food and beverage processing market, plastic or stainless steel products, packaging and conveyor systems.

There are variations available with line of sight along case axis or at 90 degrees to case axis.

Another benefit is the quick and practical installation achieved by the M12 connector or pre-cabled and NO/NC programming using "teach".
