Industrial application examples

IB

Within the various manufacturing processes of liquid crystal, the presence
or absence of a glass plate is detected during transportation. As the light
volume can be differentiated with high-accuracy, stable detection is
possible.

This device definitively detects the chip gradient and/or the presence of a
chip on even minute targets during the mounting process. Fur thermore, as
the sampling occurs at 80 µs, detections on high-speed lines are also
possible.

By sensing two locations simultaneously, the device detects the orientation
of the paper feed and/or the skew angle during transportation. Continuous
measurement is possible with the small type head and high-speed
sampling.

Detects differences in various shafts within metal workings or during the
assembly process. By using the included Hold function, this can be
determined without stopping the target.

By sensing the thrubeam volume of laser light, the device definitively
captures any differences in the transparent film. Fur thermore, by aligning
multiple devices along the width, continuous detection of uneven coating
over multiple points is possible.

By sensing the thrubeam volume of laser light through glass, the turbidity of
factory waste water can be determined. Furthermore, judgment values can
be set between 0 and 100%.

Detects the diameter and cap tightness when adding the caps onto the
bottles. Due to high-speed sampling, detection can be conducted on the
conveyer without stopping the target.

By sensing thrubeam volumes of the laser light, the liquid level can be
detected with high accuracy. Furthermore, by using a compact head the
device can be positioned in even the narrowest of spaces.

High stability and measurement accuracy are achieved

with the newly developed optical system

Multi-Wavelength Laser + I-DSP

With conventional lasers, the transmission spot produces a patchy pattern
(as shown in the figure to the right). This is a laser-specific interference
problem caused by the laser having a single wavelength. The IG Series
sensor overcomes this problem by using a multi-wavelength laser. Because
shadows are formed on the CCD more clearly, the sensor remains highly
stable, even with targets that are conventionally
difficult to detect (e.g. transparent objects). With
the I-DSP (a parallel computing chip)
incorporated in the receiver, the sensor can
perform data processing at high speed,
reducing noise to a minimum.

IP67 Protection

The enclosure satisfies the IP67 rating based on the IEC
standards and remains watertight even after being held at
a depth of one metre for 30 minutes. The enclosure is
resistant to adverse environments and offers long-term
durability.

Flexible Free-Cut Cable

The sensor head cable is a robot cable that withstands
repeated bending. The cable can be used safely in a
position requiring repeated motion.

Edge Check Function

The user can check whether a measurement is performed
correctly by verifying the number of edges in the field of
view.

Key Point: Less Sensitive to Dirt

Because it uses an L-CCD, the IG Series is less sensitive
to materials such as dirt than a sensor that uses a
photodiode (PD) as the light-receiving element.

Determining the Part of a Target
to be Measured

The position monitor on the IG Series sensors makes it
possible to visually check how a target is detected. The
user can prevent mounting or setting errors by observing
the red lights that indicate the received light position and
the green lights that indicate the measurement position.

Easier Optical Axis Alignment

The position monitor makes it easier to align the optical
axis. Easily perform optical axis alignment by adjusting
the sensor head so that all of the position monitor lights
turn red.

Monitoring Function

Measurement conditions such as the waveforms of received
light can be displayed in real time. The mounting and
sensitivity settings can also be adjusted more precisely.

Zero Shift Function

This function shifts an internal measurement value to 0 (to offset
the value). When the target value is changed, this function can be
used to shift an internal measurement value to the new target
value.

Sensitivity Setting

The set value used to judge whether light enters or is blocked,
based on the amount of light received by the CCD, is called the
binarization level. The amount of light received when the reference
waveform is registered is regarded as the 100% level. The light is
judged to be blocked if the
amount of light is less than the
specified binarization level. The
IG Series initially sets a
binarization level of 25% and the
user can change the level
according to the application.

Option

Reading and Writing Settings

The user can enter all settings including the measurement
modes into a PC and then transfer them to the sensor. The
management of setting data is simple and very convenient
when two or more sensors are used.

anywhere on the detection area.

No concern of position
misalignment even in wide areas

As the maximum width of the optical axis is 30 mm, stable

Adopting the newly developed optical system used in the IG Series

Multi-Wavelength Laser Beam + High-sensitivity PD

Normal lasers are single wavelength, therefore due to friction, the pattern
becomes patchy, as shown in the diagram on the right. This problem is rectified
in the IB Series by utilising laser light with multiple wavelengths. Targets with a
high level of difficulty can still be detected with a high degree of stability.
Furthermore, by incorporating a high-sensitivity PD within the light receiving
section data can be processed at high speeds, reducing the extraneous
fluctuations to the absolute limit.

Using the transmission lens, after the laser light
emitted as a parallel beam passes through the light
receiving lens, the light is then converged to the
light-receiving element (high-sensitivity PD). When
the measurement target interrupts this parallel
beam, this beam is in proportion to the volume of
interrupted light and the light entering the received
light element reduces. When this occurs, by
capturing the light volume in the light-receiving
element (high-sensitivity PD), the size and
transparency of the target can be measured.

Maintenance-saving according to the Auto adjustment function

Long-term, stable detection even in environments where the
device becomes dirty easily

In the IB Series, should the received light volume decrease
according to such things as dirt on the front of the sensor
head, by using the adjustment input, the received light volume
is adjusted to standard values during input. In addition, the
Auto adjustment function recognises that this adjustment
input has no measurement target, and therefore is executed
regularly automatically. Even when used in environments
where the device becomes dirty easily, stable measurements
and a high degree of maintenance-saving has been achieved
by the device automatically correcting itself.

Simple positioning according to the alignment LED

Easy to align the optical axis

As the optical axis of the laser align, the flash frequency of the laser transmitter indicator quickens. Even
without looking at the amplifier unit, the optimum position can be achieved easily.

Amplifier Function

Communication Unit

NPN/PNP Output Selection (judgment selection)

Both NPN and PNP outputs are supported. The outputs are set
the first time the user turns on the power. These settings can
subsequently be changed. Judgments are output as HIGH, GO,
or LOW.

Analogue Output Selection

The following four types of analogue outputs can be selected.The
output is selected the first time the user turns on the power.

DL-RB1A

BCD output unit

Use this unit when retrieving numerical data
from the IG/ IB Series to an external device as
digital data. A single communication unit can
retrieve data from up to four IG/IB Series display
units in BCD.

DL-RS1A

RS-232C communication unit

Use this unit when outputting digital data to
an external device with RS-232C signals. It
is necessary to connect it to a PC when
using the startup support software, IG
Configurator. A single communication unit
can retrieve data from up to four IG/IB Series
display units.

Bank Function

The bank function can register up to four patterns of specific
settings.* For example, in response to a measurement target
changeover, this function allows the user to easily switch between
the patterns of registered settings.

* HIGH set ting value, LOW setting valu e, binarization level,
shift targ et value, etc.
