Your Benefits
- Flexible and simple mounting directly on the edge of a label dispenser ensures a high level of accuracy in the process
- Small housing allows simple installation even where space is limited
- User-friendly adjustment allows easy and quick commissioning
- Fast response times enable precise detection – even at very high track speeds
- Thanks to IO-Link or external teach-in, the switching threshold can be adapted while the process is running, increasing process reliability
- Easy to access data from the PLC via IO-Link
Technical data overview
1) Depends on the label thickness.2) With light/dark ratio 1:1.
3) With light/dark ratio 1:1, typical, during teach-in 6 kHz.
4) Signal transit time with resistive load.
