Detection based on “Light”
Features of “position” recognition type laser sensors
Features
Not just for presence detection - measurement is also possible
Certain models can measure distance and position with higher accuracy than a simple sensor. The following are some examples of KEYENCE products:
CCD thrubeam model
(IG Series)
A laser is emitted from a transmitter and then is received by a CCD light receiving element. The area where the laser is interrupted is identified clearly on the CCD. This model can be used for in-line position detection or outer diameter measurement of a target.
High accuracy CMOS reflective model
(IL/IA Series)
Reflected light is received with a CMOS light receiving element and the position is determined based on the triangulation principle. This model can output the position information with an analogue signal.
