20 mm (0.787 in) Beam Pitch Individual Beam Output Area Sensor

Using a separate control board, each beam channel can be output individually. This is particularly useful for a variety of applications such as discriminating the size of traveling objects, or for sensing their position.

A narrow 20 mm (0.787 in) beam pitch offers high sensing performance. It is able to detect a minimum 30 mm (1.181 in) diameter opaque object. The SF1-F series is reduced in volume with only 40% the cross-sectional area of a conventional model.

There are eight types of sensors having a sensing height from 140 mm (5.512 in) (8 beam channels) to 1,260 mm (49.606 in) (64 beam channels). It also has a long sensing range of 7 m (22.966 ft).

Channel-check function: When the channel-check input is connected to 0V, the emission of each channel is stopped successively, one at a time. At this time, the corresponding receiver channels generate an output. This is extremely useful for a start-up check. Interference prevention function: It prevents interference between two sensors installed close to each other. Use this function in applications, such as discriminating object size or sensing position of moving objects, where two sensors are mounted adjacently.
