Position Sensors, DS3 Series

Description: Position sensors, DS3 series are optoelectronic multi-beam devices that can be used to detect, measure and control the position of objects including transparent and small. Models with 150, 300, 450 or 600 mm detection field height are available, as well as presenting 0.2-0.6 m or 0.6-1.5 m operating distances. Internal dipswitches for configuration are available on all models, together with the Teach-in setting button with Remote and self-calibration function, LED indicators for the signalling of the device operating and auto-diagnostic status. The synchronisation via cable of the emitter and receiver units guarantees immunity from high optic and electromagnetic interference. The integrated electronics eliminates the need for an external control unit. The compact dimensions (35 x 40 mm), easy installation and excellent performances make the AREAscan light grids particularly suitable to the many different applications of automatic packaging and industrial automation in general. Basic specifications: operating distance reaching 1.5 m and up to 600 mm controlled height; digital PNP and 0 - 10 V analogue outputs; simple configuration obtained using the internal dip-switches; and Teach-in setting with remote and self-calibration function.
