Photoelectric sensor with light array for detecting flat objects
Photoelectric sensors from the RAY10 Reflex Array product family enable reliable object detection of flat objects as well as fast commissioning. When combined with a reflector, the photoelectric sensors also detect small, flat, transparent or uneven objects from a size of 5 mm. Within a 25 mm-high uniform light array, the sensors detect the leading edge of the respective object for this purpose. This allows perforated objects to be reliably detected without multiple switching.

Benefits
-Reduce overall costs by up to 50% compared to solutions with separate sender and receiver housings
-Reliable, position-independent detection of very flat objects
-Productivity increase thanks to reliable object detection (regardless of object property) and prevention of multiple switching (for perforated, non-uniform objects)
-Quick and easy optical alignment, commissioning and monitoring
-Reduction of downtime of conveyor systems
Features
-Sender and receiver in a single housing, combined with a reflector
-Detection of objects > 5 mm, within a detection height of 25 mm
-ASIC from SICK
-Visible uniform light array (PinPoint LED)
-AutoAdapt technology (predictive maintenance)
ADVANTAGES
Simple alignment and reliable object detection
The RAY10 Reflex Array photoelectric sensor has a uniform, visible light band. The photoelectric sensor can be aligned quickly and easily thanks to this light band. After alignment, only a teach-in is needed before the sensor is ready for object detection.
Thanks to the PinPoint LED, the light band on the reflector is easy to see
Save valuable time during commissioning thanks to the quick alignment and easy adjustment of the sensor
Predictive maintenance
During operation, blue LEDs indicate the degree of contamination of the sensor and reflector. The integrated IO-Link technology enables quick and reliable transmission of these maintenance signals to the controller (PLC). This means maintenance and cleaning of the sensor can be planned at an early stage, avoiding unplanned downtime.
