Overview are differentiated depending on applied edia. Light, one of the edia, is also utilized for a which is called a photoelectric. It is a non-contact type which is applicable to sensing presence, passing, size, color and brightness of the object. Classification by Method s can be classified into three categories depending on sensing type. Through-bea photoelectric Through-bea bea type is to detect a by using the difference of light intensity depending on presence of with placing an eitter and a receiver face to face. Long sensing distance is available and it is not affected by background. Eitted light Retroreflective photoelectric Retroreflective type(standard type) Retroreflective type uses a photoelectric which is integrated with eitter and receiver, and a reflector with high light radiant in order to detect a by coparing difference of light aount deterined by the presence of between the and reflector. Eitted light Eitted light Using highly reflective objects is liited but it depends on install ethod, it could be available to use. Retroreflective type(built-in polarized filter) Like the standard type of retroreflective photoelectric, polarized filter type uses a photoelectric which is integrated with eitter and receiver and reflector. The eitter and receiver in the have each polarized filter for receiving reflected light fro the reflector which ake the light polarized at 90. filter A Eitted Horizontal polarized filter filter B Reflective surface filter A Vertical polarized filter filter B Diffuse reflective photoelectric Diffuse reflective is to detect a by direct reflection off the object. (eitter / receiver in one body) Standard diffuse reflective type Light source is diffused after passing the lens, detects a by coparing difference of light aount which depends on size, color and brightness of the object. Narrow bea type Narrowed bea spot size after passing the lens has little effect on background. It is suitable for sensing in narrow space or sensing sall size of the object. Convergent reflective type Convergent reflective type sensed the liited area (checked ) where optical source is crossed. In the figure below, the sensing at can be detected while the at cannot. Due to detecting the liited area by optical source, there is little effect by background but it is not siple to odify sensing distance and sensing in a specific area (within 50). BGS(background suppression) type It detects range of set distance which is applied the algorith of triangulation principle which is for easuring the place where the reflected light fors an iage on the receiving or the optical syste. Also it has little effect by size, color and surface condition of the sensing and no effect on the background. Strong at teperature, power and voltage changes and available detect to sensing distance over. Triangulation : light fors an iage on the receiving light after it is reflected on the sensing. In case sensing is located at, the sae aount of reflected light will be received on both N and F of receiving. In case sensing is located closer, larger aount of reflected light will be received on N and less aount of light on F. In case sensing is located further, both N and F will receive the reflected light vice versa. Therefore, sensing distance can be deterined with calculating the aount of reflected light on both s of receiving (two-segent photodiode).

Glossary LED : Light Diode A seiconductor diode eits light when an electric current passes through it. The color and brightness of LED is deterined by the coponent, construction ratio, ipurities of PN junction for iproving single crystal which is ade with galliu(ga) to ixed crystal. Infrared LED : Using P-N junction for GaAs Red LED : Adding ipurities Zn, O to GaP Green LED : GaP/Green light eitting/ Yellowish green eitting is used due to low efficiency. Yellowish green LED : Adding N to GaP / Higher eitting efficiency than Green eitting. The ost coon eitting for photoelectric is IRED having high eitting efficiency and large outputs. Red or green LED is also frequently used according to applications. Photo diode A photo diode is a type of diode capable of converting light into either current or voltage when light reached to P layer. PN or PIN junction used. Si is generally used for seiconductor. PIN photodiode is coonly used as receiving s to catch optical signal with high response and frequency. Applicable to photoelectric s receiving s, PCM transission for optical counication, and TV/ VTR reote controller s receiving s. Photo transistor Copared to photo diodes, photo transistor has aplifying action by transistor. Control easily due to high receiving sensitivity for Base current. Thus it is available in a wide range of photoelectric s. The sensing serves as a reference for easuring basic perforance. Bea angle Angle range for noral sensing by the s. Dead zone s bea angle The dead zone is generated near the eitter and receiver on the surface in retroreflective type, diffuse reflective type, narrow bea reflective type, convergent reflective type, and BGS reflective type photoelectric or color ark. Since none of object can be sensed in the dead zone, please ake sure of the dead zone when installing the product. Received Eitted Dead zone Operation ode Light ON Output switching s (transistor or Relay) becoe ON when the receiver receives eitting light fro the eitters. Dark ON Output switching s (transistor or Relay) becoe ON when the receiver does not receive eitting light fro the eitters. Retroreflective Diffuse reflective Through-bea Hysteresis (reflective type) Distance difference between operating distance and returning distance. Returning distance Response tie The tie lag between light received point and the point on which output operation becoes ON.(Light ON) Generally, response tie is represented as operation tie (Ton). [Operating tie (Ton) Returning tie (Toff)] Interrupted light Output out / ON OFF Light ON out Operating tie (Ton) Major Features Operating distance Returning tie (Toff) Non-contact detection is a non-contact type which does not have any ipact on the sensing. Wide range of sensing Applicable to a wide range of aterials including transparent glass, etal, plastic, wood and liquid. High speed response tie Use light as the ediu, it is able to detect the oving object with high speed. Superior distinction perforance Use several characteristics of light, various kinds of s are developed. They are able to detect presence, passing, size, color, and brightness of the sensing.

Easy to control application environent Easy to control sensing range and environent of photoelectric by using lens such as half irror, shield boards, slit. Low influence fro agnetic field and vibration Use light when photoelectric detect the sensing, it is less affected by agnetic and vibration. Color identification The rate at which an object reflects or absorbs light depends on both the wavelength of the eitted light and the color of the object. This property can be used to detect colors.

Relative sensing distance depends on the odel and sensing object size. Convergent reflective type is not affected by color or aterial within range of sensing distance as specified in chart. distance and range against the sensing condition The reflectivity of the sensing surface is higher, the sensing distance is longer. The size of the sensing is bigger, the sensing distance is longer. The rate of reflection of the sensing is lower, the sensing area is ore narrow. However in the case of white non-glossy paper, it has lower reflectivity than glossy SUS or aluinu, but the property of sensing area is better by diffused reflection of the surface of the white paper. 170 350 850 28 35 A B C D E F G H I J K L A: Non-glossy white paper(standard) F: Vinyl resin (orange) B: Corrugated card board with yellow G: Rubber board color H: Aluinu board C: Veneer board I: Reflective bar D: Non-glossy black paper(brightness 3) J: Rusty steel bar Ø10 E: Bakelite board with yellow color K: Black cloth (towel) Acrylic board (black) L: Dark Blue cloth(towel) Vinyl resin (red) 70 42 Feature Data The following describes about the feature data.
