| DATA SHEET cntx ™ See The Difference! Increase process throughput with high-speed, accurate and reliable contrast differentation. The CNTXTM combines small spot size and fast response to achieve high-speed contrast differentiation of both neutral and color targets. The sensor provides numerical display of 50 grayscale levels. The broad-spectrum light source allows accurate detection of a wide range of colors against any background. The flexibility of the CNTXTM makes it easy to set-up in a wide variety of printing, packaging and converting applications. The CNTXTM is the perfect fit for many applications that require the ability to differentiate between two conditions that vary in contrast. whether you need to detect registration marks for alignment or positioning purposes, or sort products based on color, the CNTXTM provides the accuracy and precision for reliable process control. The CNTXTM uses a modulated white light source optimized to detect all colors.The sensor measures the light reflected by two different targets and provides an output signal when the threshold setting is exceeded. The small spot size provides the resolution necessary to achieve accurate timing and positioning measurements. The discrete output provides the high-speed interface to external controls. An analog output allows external monitoring of signal levels. Two seven-segment industrial displays provide a visual representation of the relative intensity from 00 to 50. The two gain settings and three LED intensity settings provide for flexible operation over a wide range of conditions. The two keys are provided for making adjustments and changing sensor settings for optimum operation. The CNTX is easy to use with it's well defined light spot and digital display. High color contrast sensitivity and resolution. High detection speed, <150-microsecond discrete output response. Broad-spectrum white LED light source allows detection of all colors. Two gain settings and three light source intensity settings allow a wide range of adjustment capability. Easy-to-use operator adjustable threshold. Fast and convenient integration. In one sensor you get both analog and discrete output, auto-detect for PNP/NPN configuration. Unique numerical display indicates measured levels making process setup easy. Circular spot allows for any orientation of sensor to marks. |
