New Photoelectric Proximity Switches for Mini and Maxi Applications
The fork sensor SIMATIC PXO830 GL, the fiber optic sensor SIMATIC PXO840 LV70 and the professional laser distance sensor SIMATIC PXO650 L90L expand the range of the manufacturer of photoelectric sensors from Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D). The three new product families offer special capabilities for the handling of delicate tasks, but also for the distance measurement over long distances.
Fork Sensor SIMATIC PXO830 GL
The new fork detection SIMATIC PXO830 GL are optimized for applications, in which small parts have to be detected with high accuracy. Emitter and receiver are contained in one unit, minimizing the installation work for an object detection. The adjustment of emitter and receiver to each other is no longer necessary.
Highlights
- Small, compact form factor
- Various installation options via screw or dovetail mounting
- Good price/performance ratio
- Low weight
- Identification of very small parts
- Operational safety thanks to adjustable sensitivity
- Easy commissioning by means of teach-in and 4 status LEDs
- Safe status indication via omnidirectional LED
Fiber Optic Sensor SIMATIC PXO840 LV70
The fibre optic sensors SIMATIC PXO840 LV70 with plastic fiber optics are suitable for the detection of objects in space-restricted manufacturing processes thanks to their flexible installation design. As a result, they are used especially in production engineering, where delicate components are assembled or processed.
Highlights
- Small, compact form factor
- Precise object detection thanks to small light spot
- Flexible through the use of fiber optics
- Easy commissioning by means of 2 buttons and 4-digit display
- Devices with switching and analog outputs
- Detailed diagnostics information by means of 4-digit display in the case of an error
- No mutual interference through automatic suppression
- Can be used as diffuse sensor or thru-beam sensor
Applications
- Handling or assembly industrial robots
- Electronics assembly
- Component manufacture/packaging
- Packaging of small parts, e.g. in the pharmaceutical industry
Laser Distance Sensor SIMATIC PXO650 L90L
Due to the laser light used, the new laser distance detection SIMATIC PXO650 L90L possess a considerably smaller and more defined measuring spot, therefore enabling a measuring – even of long distances – with pinpoint accuracy. A visible pilot laser and a 2-button operation simplify the adjustment.
Highlights
- Long sensor range
- Small measuring spot
- Only small clearances required
- Unaffected by dirt contamination due to use of infrared laser
- Easy commissioning by means of 2-button operation and visible pilot laser
- Little protective measures required
- Signal preprocessing
- High measuring dynamics
- High reproducibility
