Area: AS1 Sensors Area: AS 1 High-resolution Photoelectric Light Grids Area sensors with crossed beams 100mm height Operating distance 2.1m 0.2mm minimum detectable object thickness PNP output and Scan mode input The photoelectric light grids of the AS1 series are crossed-beam area sensors able to detect all objects, as small as a 0.2mm thickness, inside a 100mm height, over operating distances reaching 2.1m between emitter and receiver. AS1 area sensors are an ideal solution for detection of very small objects, even when moving and in varying positions inside a controlled height and width. The distance between emitter and receiver can range from 0.3 to 2.1m. With their short response time, ultra-compact AS1 light grids are perfect for fast conveyor lines, such as insertion and downloading lines, and for detection and counting of objects in random positions. 220 www.idec.com Communication & Networking Sensors Power Supplies Automation Software Operator Interfaces PLCsCommunication & Networking PLCs Operator Interfaces Automation Software Power Supplies Sensors 2 - 4.5 4 - M2 Area: AS1 Sensors The PNP output is activated every time an object Dimensions (mm) is detected between the receiver and emitter. The AS1 has a high resolution with a light array that has 16 beams to ensure accurate detection. Selection inputs of the SCAN MODE can con g- ure 4 different crossed-beam scanning modes. These different modes allow variances in detec- tion performance, in particular, resolution can be increased to 0.2mm thickness, or response time to less than 3ms.
