Various types of sensors used for a wide range of applications, such as presence/absence or differentiation of parts.
Photoelectric sensors: Presence detection of test objects by means of
LED light source.
Photoelectric sensors are used for presence detection or part discrimination. Distance- or intensity-based detection makes it possible to distinguish between weakly reflective objects as well as highly reflective objects (e.g. metals).
Fibre optic sensors: Fast and reliable detection using fibre optics for a wide range of applications.
The fibre optic sensors are particularly user-friendly and easy to operate. The large selection of fibre optics means that the right sensor can be found for every application and environmental condition.
Laser Sensors: Large Detection Distance for Presence Detection Using Visible Focused Laser Light Beam.
KEYENCE has a variety of laser sensors that can detect components based on intensity or distance. Depending on the model, the sensors are available as all-in-one or with a separate evaluation unit.
Inductive sensors: Presence detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects.
The fast, high-precision detection enables 24-hour monitoring of plants and products and prevents the production of rejects from the outset.
Network communication units: Monitor and control sensors via Profinet, EtherNet/IP™, EtherCAT and other protocols.
By using KEYENCE network communication units, you simplify the integration of sensor data into the machine control system and can reduce the wiring effort. By comparing multiple processes in parallel, it is possible to detect potential problems before they occur.
