Fast response
May 1st 2010 New from SICK (UK) the WLL180T
photoelectric sensor with fibre-optic
cable boasts a response time of just
16µs and has been developed to
enable rapid, reliable object detection
of fast production processes, even in
hard-to-reach machine and system
locations.
The WLL180T, which can detect
even the fastest process operations –
up to 31,250 per second, without the
loss of reliability – is suitable for use
in the semiconductor, electronics, and
pharmaceutical industries, as well as
in assembly handling and robotics.
The sensor is able to achieve high
scanning ranges, of up to 20m, even
in ambient conditions. Featuring high
system reserves, the powerful light
beam can penetrate dust clouds,
spray, mist or water jets, to reliably
detect objects. More articles from SICK (UK) Ltd: |
