Industrial Applications

1. High-Speed Object Counting on Conveyor Belts

Accurate counting of small, rapidly moving or closely spaced items on manufacturing or packaging lines.

Problem Solved

The FX-502P's H-SP response time of 25 µs ensures precise detection of fast-moving objects, preventing miscounts. Its dual PNP outputs can simultaneously manage counting and trigger subsequent actions.

2. Liquid Level and Presence Detection in Transparent Tubing

Monitoring the presence or absence of liquid within transparent or semi-transparent tubes in chemical processing, medical, or beverage dispensing systems.

Problem Solved

When combined with appropriate liquid detection fiber optic cables, the FX-502P can reliably distinguish between different states (e.g., tube with liquid, tube without liquid, no tube). Its adjustable sensitivity and dual outputs provide flexible signaling for process control.

3. Component Presence/Absence Verification in Robotic Assembly

Ensuring small components are correctly positioned or present before subsequent robotic assembly operations.

Problem Solved

The sensor's ability to detect minute objects with a fast response time makes it ideal for rapid and reliable verification of intricate component placements. The PNP output directly integrates with PLCs or robot controllers, and the IP40 rating suits typical indoor factory environments.
