Keyence: Self-Contained 40-Meter Photosensor
Long-range photosensor.
Woodcliff Lake, NJ — Keyence Corporation of America has introduced its new PZ-G Series of self-contained, threaded, high-power photoelectric sensors. PZ-G Sensors provide longer detection distances of up to 40 meters, higher response speeds and easier installation than conventional models. Combined with a new setup and beam alignment system, the new sensors are complemented by a unique, one-touch mounting system that slashes installation time and costs.
The PZ-G sensor has standard M8 and M12 threaded quick-connects with a standard pin-out for fast, easy sensor interchangeability. The high-power and long range of PZ-G sensors, combined with response speeds of up to 500µsec., provide the type of performance demanded for reliable, stable detection in high-speed production and assembly-line applications.
According to the company, the new PZ-G eliminates the guesswork and uncertainty of long distance sensor beam setup. It incorporates a special, front panel LED alignment indicator that illuminates brightly when the transmitter beam is perfectly aligned with the receiver. Perfect sensor beam alignment is instantly confirmed. The alignment LED is a useful maintenance and troubleshooting feature as well.
A newly designed one-touch mounting bracket eliminates the need for mounting screws and saves time. The user simply inserts the sensor body into the bracket and pushes down on a sliding sensor holder until it clicks to firmly mount the sensor. 19 types of mounting brackets, including the one-touch model, are available for a wide range of mounting requirements.
The new series includes 3 sensing styles: thrubeam, reflective and retro-reflective, to meet all application needs. The PZ-G52 high-power thrubeam type has 4 times the detecting distance with 2 times the response speed of other models. Model PZ-G51, a 4-element red LED type thrubeam, offers a 30 meter detecting distance with twice the response speed of conventional models. The PZ reflective type includes 3 models and the retro-reflective type includes the PZ-G61, a 4.2 meter range sensor.
