Applications
The right solution for every application
Different operating modes and device configurations
enable microsonic sensors to be used in all conceivable automation
applications.
|
|
|
|
Ultrasonic double-sheet detection
identifies two or more sheets of material on top of each
other. The dbk-4 product range is ideal for use where paper is in use, such
as in sheet-fed printing presses, printers, photocopiers or collating
machines. And for thicker materials such as plastic sheets or coarse
corrugated card, use the dbk-5.
|
 |
Quality control
directly on the conveyor belt. A pico-ust-25/CD/S/HV/M18
with pnp switched output detects bottles that are too tall or too short, or
have fallen over.
|
 |
Wire breakage detection
during the winding/unwinding of wires. A mic-31/D/HV/M30
with a 350 mm operating range or a mic-101/D/HV/M30 with rang of 1300 mm can
be used to suit the size of the drum.
Ultrasonic sensors with analogue output are available for detecting the
position of the wire.
|
 |
Robot positioning
Owing to their compact dimensions pico sensors with an
M18 threaded sleeve are ideal for positioning robot arms.
|
|
|
|
Detecting people
If the task is to detect the presence of persons, you are
recommended to choose a sensor with an operating range well in excess of the
required scanning distance. The greater the operating range of a sensor, the
lower is its ultrasonic frequency. And the lower the ultrasonic frequency,
the easier it is to detect absorbent clothing materials such as wool or
corduroy.
|
 |
Positioning
When scanning panes of glass or other smooth, flat
surfaces, care should be taken to ensure that the ultrasonic sensor scans
perpendicular to the surface.
|
 |
Tear detection
Film and foil in packaging machines is very easily
monitored with a sensor from the pico range. If the material does not lie
flat, it is advisable to operate the sensor as a two-way or reflective
barrier because this operating mode also works reliably when the sonic beam
is deflected away by the waves in the material.
|
 |
Monitoring of product trays
A solution with the sensor operating as a two-way or
reflective barrier should always be preferred when the object to be scanned
absorbs the sound waves or, due to its shape or position in the tray,
deflects the sound waves away. In this situation an additional reflector is
positioned behind the actual object to be scanned. An ultrasonic sensor with
switched output and operating in window mode emits a signal as soon as the
object obscures the reflector.
|
|
|
|
Presence detection
Sensors with a switched output, e.g. from the mic range
can be employed depending on the size of the box or container. The
mic-25/D/HV/M30,
mic-31/D/HV/M30 and mic-101/D/HV/M30 are available for scanning in small
boxes. With larger containers you are recommended to use a
mic-301/D/HV/M30 or a mic-601/D/HV/M30.
If the box or container is to be scanned by several sensors, the use of a
sensor from the wms range in conjunction with a separate wms controller is
recommended.
|
 |
Height and width measurements
The wms-4/4I controller with four analogue outputs
enables the simultaneous operation of up to four ultrasonic sensors with
different detection ranges for the three-dimensional scanning of any size of
box.
|
 |
Level control
Detection of filling levels from just a few millimetres
up to 6 m. Ultrasonic sensors with one or two switched outputs for
minimum/maximum control, or with 0-10 V and 4-20 mA analogue output plus
sensors for INTERBUS are available.
|
 |
Loop control
In this case an ultrasonic sensor with analogue output
scans from above into the loop and adjusts the material feed depending on
the size of the loop.
If a loop of material tends to swing sideways, the sound waves are very
easily deflected away when scanning from above. In such cases it is
recommended to scan the loop from below, as shown in the diagram.
|
|
|
|
Checking diameter
The diameter of a roll or coil of material can be
detected by an ultrasonic sensor with analogue output and the drive adjusted
or brake applied accordingly. For small diameters this is a typical
application for a mic-31/IU/HV/M30, and for diameters up to 2.5 m a
mic-101/IU/HV/M30.
|
 |
Stacking height control
Whether wooden boards, panes of glass, sheets of paper or
coloured plastic panels, ultrasonic sensors are ideal for detecting the
height of a stack of material with great accuracy.
|
 |
Level control under pressure
of up to 4 bar is possible with the lpc sensors and a
remote, pressure-resistant sensor head. Threaded sensor heads are available
for standard applications.
|
 |
Ultrasonic barrier
It is easy to set up a two-way or reflective barrier
using an ultrasonic sensor operating in window mode. To do this, a permanent
reflector is positioned behind the objects to be scanned. When an object
obscures the reflector, a switching signal is generated.
|
|
|
|
Sonic reflector
In confined installations, or to protect the sensor
membrane against splashes of water or deposits of material, the sonic beam
can be turned through 90° by using a sonic reflector. Any suitable piece of
metal or plastic sheet can be used as a sonic reflector. Sonic reflectors
are available as an accessory for sensors with a maximum range of up to 2 m.
|
 |
Interval control
The trans-o-prox enables active interval control between
two vehicles. To do this, each vehicle is fitted with one ultrasonic sensor
at the front and another at the rear. The vehicle travelling in front then
responds to the signals of the vehicle behind.
|
 |
Installation for a foil extruder
The wms-4/4I controller with four 4-20 mA analogue
outputs is ideal for controlling the diameter on a foil extruder
|
 |
Crate filling control
The pico column sensor were specially developed for
applications such as checking whether crates are filled or empty, or
scanning empty plastic bottles on a conveyor belt. A sensor can distinguish
between bottles that are too tall or too short, or have fallen over.
|
|
|
|
Detecting obstacles
The trans-o-prox enables the contactless protection of
automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in the driving direction. Up to four
ultrasonic sensors can be mounted in the driving direction of an industrial
truck. With a pre-alarm range and a stopping range, the vehicle can be
halted smoothly before an obstacle without the impact bumper triggering the
braking mechanism.
