In the case of the reflex sensor, the infrared light emitted by the controller is guided to the detecting object via the sensor's fiber-optic light guides and reflected there. Both diffuse and directly reflected components are present in the back-reflected infrared light. The reflected light components of the object to be detected are received by the same sensor and transmitted back to the controller via the optical fiber for evaluation. The high-quality reflective sensor, in combination with the performance of the CLS1000 series, delivers even more precise detection of a wide variety of objects and structures. The sensors are available with a wide range of detection ranges, temperature ranges and lengths. This enables a wide range of applications. The fiber optic cable has a sensor head, which is available in different versions: These sensor heads can be easily mounted in the machine on a bracket using M4, M6, and M10 threads. With external thread: For example, threaded sensors can be easily fixed on a mounting bracket. Without external thread: Cylindrical sensor heads are suitable for space-saving mounting. This is achieved by simply setting a grub screw. 90° deflection: If the installation depth and the mounting space are very limited, sensors with integrated 90° deflection are the optimal solution. Flat sensor head: Thanks to the light band, flat sensor heads are best suited for detecting larger objects. These can be located anywhere in the light band.
