Overview In combination with a reflector, the Reflex Array Multitask photoelectric sensor detects leading edges of small, flat, transparent or unevenly formed objects on conveyor belts within its light array. Detection takes place regardless of where and how the objects are positioned on a conveyor belt. The photoelectric sensor reliably detects objects such as glass bottles and polybags. The Reflex Array can even detect perforated objects easily without triggering multiple switching operations. This reduces the overall costs and accelerates the commissioning process. Compared to other solutions that involve use of individual photoelectric sensors or small light grids, Reflex Array offers substantial cost benefits. At a glance RAY10: 25 mm-high light array, detects objects ≥ 5 mm
RAY26: 55 mm-high light array, three variants, detects objects ≥ 3 mm, ≥ 5 mm or ≥ 10 mm
Display for predictive maintenance on the sensor transmits maintenance signals to the PLC via IO-Link
Conveyor belt suppression for RAY26 Your Benefit Reduces the overall costs for detection by up to 50% compared to other solutions
Detection of objects with a size of ≥ 1 mm in a 20 mm-high light array or ≥ 3 mm, ≥ 5 mm or ≥ 10 mm in a 55 mm-high light array or ≥ 5 mm in a 25 mm-high light array
Conveyor belt suppression: Manual or via IO-Link
Pinpoint LED enables great visibility of the light array and easy and fast optical alignment
Predictive maintenance using Auto Adapt reduces downtime Applications Conveyor belts: Detection of small, flat, perforated, unevenly formed or transparent objects
