Photoelectric sensor with background suppression

rectangularfor packaging machines

Photoelectric proximity sensors detect an object by emitting light beams, which are reflected by the material. In this way, reliable object detection can also be guaranteed for shiny or reflective objects. The sensors do not fulfil a safety function. However, they do emit a switching signal, which is evaluated by safe control technology from Pilz, such as the small controller PNOZmulti 2 or the modular safety relay myPNOZ. For example, photoelectric proximity sensors are used in solutions for packaging machines for safe monitoring of cardboard feed. The solution is TÜV-SÜD-certified for PL d / SIL 2. Benefits of photoelectric sensors Benefits of photoelectric sensors TÜV-SÜD-certified solution for PL d / Cat. 3 of EN ISO 13849-1 or SIL 2 of EN IEC 62061: Certified solution saves time and costs Higher level of personnel safety: minimised accident risk through the use of safe control technology in conjunction with photoelectric proximity sensors Use of diffuse sensors with background suppression saves costs: no expensive, mechanical devices required. Easy to integrate into existing applications; retrofit possible due to the use of a defined component set and corresponding solution description High reliability for detecting different packaging materials, e.g. shiny or reflective objects Sensors are flexible to assemble, to the side or above the carton magazine Features of photoelectric sensor Safe small controller PNOZmulti 2 - all base units in the PNOZmulti 2 product range can be used - OR Modular safety relays with the type code myPNOZ.91.CKA360AB000XB700 (with semiconductor outputs) OR myPNOZ.03.CKA360AB000XD700 (with relay outputs) AND
