Today, the industrial automation assembly line is pursuing for efficiency and reliability. Whether the parts can be accurately put in place and whether the high-speed motion can be effectively counted and traced directly determines the fluency and production efficiency of the production cycle. Slot photoelectric sensor, as the key equipment to meet these core detection requirements, is becoming an indispensable assistant in the field of industrial automation due to its excellent performance.
1, Core operating principle:
The Slot-Type sensor (also known as Slot-Type photoelectric switch) adopts the standard U-slot structure. The transmitter (infrared light emitting device) and receiver (light receiving device) are respectively located on both sides of the U-slot to form an optical axis. When the detected object passes through the U-shaped slot and blocks the optical axis, the receiver senses that the beam is blocked and responds immediately - the indicator turns off and the state of the output switching value signal changes.
2, Benefits of Slot-Type sensors
01.Millisecond level high speed response
2HKZ high speed response, especially suitable for high speed change detection scenarios
02.Compact structure and convenient installation
Compact, ideal for installation in space constrained areas
03.Non-contact non-destructive testing
Sensitive induction and stable performance, no direct contact with the detected object, avoid damage to the object.
04.One-piece molding design
The seamless one-piece housing can prevent dust intrusion and protect electronic components for long service life.
Application Cases
Option 1: Roller speed measurement/counting/overrun motion
Gear speed counting, conveyor belt high-speed workpiece positioning and other scenes. On the high-speed running conveyor belt, the slot sensor accurately captures the high-speed cardboard clearance with 2KHz response speed, so as to realize high-precision feeding control, and the counting error rate approaches zero.
Option 2: Detecting the origin of the rotating body
It can detect the origin switch/limit switch of the equipment, the disc parts inside the equipment and other space limited areas, and the traditional sensor and support occupy a large volume. Compact integrated U-channel construction without additional support or complex alignment. It is directly embedded in the equipment gap or installed between the fingers of the mechanical arm and quickly fixed by standard threads or buckles, greatly saving space and installation time.
Option 3: Positioning of Clamps
It is used for clamping plate positioning and can be detected through the baffle of the detection platform.
Application industry
Slot-Type photoelectric switch is mainly used for automatic detection, automatic control, automatic counting and other automatic equipment and equipment. For example: robot, packaging and printing, 3C electronic, machine tool industry conveyor belt, assembly line, elevator equipment, etc.
In the dual dimension of efficiency and reliability, the Slot-Type sensor provides a standardized and highly reliable sensing foundation for industrial automation. With smaller volume, faster response and greater reliability, the Slot-Type sensor reshapes the performance boundary of industrial inspection - on countless high-speed production lines, it supports every accurate judgment, making the intelligent process smooth.
