Applications

Detecting objects with a complex shape

Detecting objects with a complex shape

Its linear sensing area enables more stable detection of objects with complex shapes.

Detecting the remaining amount of sheet rolls

Detecting the remaining amount of sheet rolls

The coaxial retroreflective sensor with a spot diameter of approx. ø1 mm ø0.039 in (at a 1 m 3.281 ft sensing distance) can measure amounts remaining on sheet rolls with high precision.

Detecting electronic component pins

Detecting electronic component pins

Because its spot shape can be adjusted in accordance with the object, it can be easily set to detect even the minutest object from a remote location.

NOTE : Mounting bracket is not supplied with the sensor head. Please select from the range of optional sensor head mounting brackets.

Note 1 :This product complies with the FDA regulations (FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11) in accordance with FDA Laser Notice No. 56, except for complying with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3.

Note 2 :LS-H22(F) is the model No. for LS-H21(F) long sensing range spot reflective type sensor head combined with the LS-MR1 lens attachment for line reflective type sensor head. Hence, LS-H21(F) appears on the sensor head itself.

Note 3 :The sensing range is the value for the RF-330 [RF-230 for the LS-H92(F)] reflector. In addition, the sensing range is the possible setting range for the reflector. The sensor can detect an object less than 0.1 m 0.328 ft [LS-H92(F): 0.2 m 0.656 ft] away. Note that if there are white papers or specular objects near the sensor head, reflected light from these objects may be received. In such cases, use the M.G.S. function of the amplifier unit to change the response time or incident light sensitivity.

Conditions when using SC-GU2-CInterference prevention function
Each group should be cascaded in a lump.
When group A, group B and group C are connected together in cascade, as for the products that are located between different groups, put the amplifier protection seal (FX-MB1 optional) on the amplifier communication window of each corresponding product. Interference prevention function cannot be used if amplifier protection seal is put on the amplifier communication window. Choose one from copy function / channel bank function (communication) or interference prevention function to be used.
[Group A]
It cannot communicate with master.
[Group B, Group C]
They can communicate with master.

When group B and group C are connected together in cascade, be sure that group B is located on the left side of group C.
Each group should be cascaded in a lump.
When group A, group B and group C are connected together in cascade, refer to the connecting conditions for connecting. (Copy function cannot be used.)
When not using group A, copy function / channel bank function (communication) and interference prevention function can be used without putting on the amplifier protection seal.

Spot-shape adjuster (Only for LS-H21□, LS-H22□)

  • The diffuse reflective type LS-H21□ and LS-H22□ incorporate the spot-shape adjuster to adjust the shape of spots.
Spot-shape adjusterDescription

Turn the spot-shape adjuster clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the spot shape at your desired detecting distance. However, if the adjuster is turned too far, it may be damaged.

Mounting

Amplifier

<How to mount the amplifier>

①Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the amplifier on a 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.

②Press down the rear part of the mounting section of the unit on the 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail and fit the front part of the mounting section to the DIN rail.

<How to remove the amplifier>

①Push the amplifier forward.

②Lift up the front part of the amplifier to remove it.

Note:Be careful. If the front part is lifted without pushing the amplifier forward, the hook on the rear portion of the mounting section is likely to break.

<How to mount the sensor head>

①Insert the sensor head connector into the inlet until it clicks.

②Fit the cover to the connector.

Mounting Amplifier


Sensor head

  • The tightening torque should be 0.5 N·m or less.

Mounting Sensor head

  • When placing the sensor head horizontally or vertically, the reflector must also be positioned horizontally or vertically as shown in Fig. 1 below.
    If the sensor head is placed horizontally or vertically but the reflector is leaned as shown in Fig. 2 below, the reflection amount will decrease, which may cause unstable detection.

Fig. 1 Proper positioning

When placing the sensor head horizontally or vertically, the reflector shall also be positioned horizontally or vertically.

Mounting Fig. 1 Proper positioning

Fig. 2 Improper positioning

When placing the sensor head horizontally or vertically, but the reflector is leaned.

Lens attachment for line reflective type (LS-MR1)

Removing method

①Insert a screwdriver into the fixing slot located at the top of sensor head.

②Tilt the screwdriver inserted in Step ① to remove LS-MR1.

Mounting method

  • The lens attachment for line reflective type LS-MR1 mounted in the long sensing range line reflective type LS-H22□ is removable.
    When LS-H22□ is used without LS-MR1, it will provide the equivalent performance to the long sensing range spot reflective type LS-H21□. In addition, the optional LS-MR1 can be attached to LS-H21□ to obtain the performance equivalent to LS-H22□.
  • Keep the lens clean of dust, dirt, water, oil, grease, etc.
  • Do not apply any excessive force to LS-MR1.
    Such force may cause damage.

①The size of upper fixing hook of LS-MR1 is not same as the lower fixing hook. After identifying the upper and lower fixing hooks, insert LS-MR1 upper fixing hook into the fixing slot at the top of sensor head and then insert LS-MR1 lower fixing hook into the fixing slot at the bottom of sensor head.

②After mounting, check that LS-MR1 is properly fixed to the sensor head.

Lens attachment for line reflective type (LS-MR1)

Wiring

  • Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
  • Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
  • Take care that if a voltage exceeding the rated range is applied, or if an AC power supply is directly connected, the sensor may get burnt or damaged.
  • Take care that short-circuit or wrong wiring of the load may burn or damage the sensor.
  • Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
  • Ensure that an isolation transformer is utilized for the DC power supply. If an auto transformer is utilized, the main amplifier or power supply may be damaged.
  • Make sure to use the optional quick-connection cable for the connection of the amplifier [connector type LS-401(P) / LS-403]. Extension up to total 100 m 328.084 ft is possible with 0.3 mm2, or more,cable. However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.

Others

  • This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
  • Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec. approx.) after the power supply is switched on.
  • Because the sensitivity is higher in U-LG mode than in other modes, it can be more easily affected by extraneous noise.
    Check the operating environment before use.
  • These sensors are only for indoor use.
  • Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
  • Take care that the product does not come in direct contact with water, oil, grease, or organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc.
  • This sensor cannot be used in an environment containing inflammable or explosive gasses.
  • Never disassemble or modify the sensor.
