EGE ULM Through Beam Sensors Opto Sensor has System Description

The Opto Edge controller consists of an amplifier to which two fiber-optic cables of up to 10 m in length can be connected via a rapid action coupling. The first fiber-optic cable routes a send signal generated by the amplifier to a first optical converter (ULM Through Beam Sensors Transmitter), while the second fiber-optic cable(ULM Through Beam Sensors Reciever) returns a send signal detected by a second optical converter to the amplifier as a receiving signal. This receiving signal is processed further in the amplifier into an output control signal.

The Opto Edge controller works with infra-red light which issues extremely short and fast impulse sequences that enable reliable recording of rapidly occurring processes, even in the presence of influences from external rays. The process control system which is determined by the user, as well as the design of the optical converter, demands a high degree of flexibility from the system.

Features

High performance through beam sensors
Range up to 100 m

Applications

An emitter in a separate housing transmits the light to a separate receiver. The object is detected when it breaks the emitted beam.

The active area of a through beam sensor is equal to the diameter of the lens of the receiver or emitter. The acceptance zone of the emitter and receiver is larger. However, this is only important for adjustment and for operation close to glossy surfaces. With focused through beam laser sensors, the active area is the diameter of the laser beam if this is smaller than the receiver lens or the front opening at the receiver end.
