| | | _Analog Discrete EDGE GUIDING_ Objective: To guide the edge of a roll of plastic. Sensors: D10INFP PIRS1X166UMPMAL opposed-mode plastic fiber arrays Operation: As a roll of plastic wrapping passes through a series of rollers, a sensor guides the edge of the roll. | | Objective: To detect the presence of an IC lead frame. Sensors: D10UNFP PIF26UMLS individual plastic fiber optics in opposed mode Operation: The lead frame of an integrated circuit moves toward the cassette that holds multiple frames. The sensors detect the leading and trailing edge, to signal to the cassette that the lead frame is approaching. | | |
| | | _Discrete COUNTING_ Objective: To count bolts dispensed from a feeder bowl. Sensors: D10AFP PIT26U individual plastic fiber optics in opposed mode Operation: As bolts drop from a vibrating feeder bowl and pass the sensor, the sensor counts the bolts. | | _Discrete TRIGGER_ PIT46U individual plastic fiber optics in opposed mode Operation: As bolts pass on a industrial conveyor, the D10 sensor detects their presence and triggers a vision sensor, which inspects the bolts. | | |
