The AREAscan
TM
light grids are optoelectronic multibeam devices that
can be used to detect transparent and small objects and for
dimensional measurement. The variety of possibile functions makes
DS3 a particularly flexible device suitable to many different
applications.
The AREAscan
TM
li ght grids o f the DS3 seri e s are ma nu factured i n
accordance with the international standards in force and in particular:
CEI EN 60947-5-2: low voltage proximity switch
CEI EN 50319: analog output on proximity switch
The device, consisting of one emitter and one receiver units housed
inside strong aluminium profiles, generates infrared beams that detect
any object positioned within the light grids detection field.
The command and control functions are inside the two units; the
connections are made through a M12 connector located in the lower
side of the profile.
The synchronisation between the emitter and the receiver takes place
through direct connection (via cable) between the two units.
The control and management of the emitted and received beams are
guaranteed by a microprocessor that, using LEDs, supplies to the
operator information relative to the light grid status and any error
conditions.
