ML8 Photoelectric Sensors - at the Leading Edge of PCB Detection

Pepperl_Fuchs

Detection of printed circuit boards (PCBs) used to be a tricky task. Slots and holes in the boards, irregularly shaped components on the boards, and variable color and reflectivity meant that sometimes a sensor didn't detect a PCB.

Consistent and precise detection of PCBs and other irregular targets is now handily accomplished by the ML8 photoelectric sensors for PCB detection.

ML8 convergent models offer a narrow sensing strip to detect the width of the object while still allowing precise, repeatable detection of edges. Older diffuse mode sensors can miss darker colored components and boards and, because of their large light spot size, they don't allow much repeatability in detection.

Features include: 

  • Consistent detection of irregular objects
  • Innovative BGS array technology exclusive to P+F
  • More precise and repeatable detection of edges
  • Suited for challenging upward-facing installations
  • High immunity to ambient light, even high frequency fluorescent
  • Dual position status LED
  • "Plug-and-play" for faster installation
  • Tamper-proof housing means no erroneous adjustments
  • Compact housing with slotted mounting holes for mounting versatility

Applications:

  • Detection and positioning of PCBs
  • Lateral detection of thin objects (flat edge of CDs and DVDs)
  • Detection of rounded or highly contoured objects
  • Redundant detection of solar wafers (such as on solar PCB screen printers)
