  Neue optische Näherungsschalter für Mini- und Maxi-Anwendungen
 

New Photoelectric Proximity Switches for Mini and Maxi Applications

The fork sensor SIMATIC PXO830 GL, the fiber optic sensor SIMATIC PXO840 LV70 and the laser distance sensor SIMATIC PXO650 L90L expand the range of the photoelectric sensors from Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D). The three new product families offer special capabilities for the handling of delicate tasks, but also for the distance measuring over long distances.
Fork Sensor SIMATIC PXO830 GL
The new fork sensors SIMATIC PXO830 GL are optimized for applications, in which small parts have to be detected with high accuracy. Emitter and receiver are contained in one unit, minimizing the installation work for an object detection. The adjustment of emitter and receiver to each other is no longer necessary.
Highlights
Small, compact form factor
Various installation options via screw or dovetail mounting
Good price/performance ratio
Low weight
Identification of very small parts
Operational safety thanks to adjustable sensitivity
Easy commissioning by means of teach-in and 4 status LEDs
Safe status indication via omnidirectional LED
Applications
Handling or assembly robots
Electronics assembly
Bottle conveyor
Component manufacture/packaging
Printing and paper
Textile processing
Fiber Optic Sensor SIMATIC PXO840 LV70
The fiber optic sensors SIMATIC PXO840 LV70 with plastic fiber optics are suitable for the detection of objects in space-restricted manufacturing processes thanks to their flexible installation design. As a result, they are used especially in production engineering, where delicate components are assembled or processed.
Highlights
Small, compact form factor
Precise object detection thanks to small light spot
Flexible through the use of fiber optics
Easy commissioning by means of 2 buttons and 4-digit display
Devices with switching and analog outputs
Detailed diagnostics information by means of 4-digit display in the case of an error
No mutual interference through automatic suppression
Can be used as diffuse sensor or thru-beam sensor
Applications
Handling or assembly robots
Electronics assembly
Component manufacture/packaging
Packaging of small parts, e.g. in the pharmaceutical industry
Laser Distance Sensor SIMATIC PXO650 L90L
Due to the laser light used, the new laser distance sensors SIMATIC PXO650 L90L possess a considerably smaller and more defined measuring spot, therefore enabling a measuring – even of long distances – with pinpoint accuracy. A visible pilot laser and a 2-button operation simplify the adjustment.
Highlights
Long sensor range
Small measuring spot
Only small clearances required
Unaffected by dirt contamination due to use of infrared laser
Easy commissioning by means of 2-button operation and visible pilot laser
Little protective measures required
Signal preprocessing
High measuring dynamics
High reproducibility
Applications
Rack feeders
Elevator technology
Paper/textile winders
Electric overhead conveyors
Gantry cranes
Slack control
