SICK has announced Ax20 array sensor, designed for versatile automation solutions.
The sensor has a high-resolution line array with which the most varied of objects can be detected with a repeat accuracy of 50 µm.
According to the company, the Ax20’s scanning method of operation, as a result of which no supplementary reflector is required, is a major advantage.
The measurement area can be up to 30 mm wide.
The sensor is highly immune to ambient light and is designed to always supply precise and reliable results regardless of the reflectivity properties of material surfaces, without any need for teach-in.
Compact housing and appropriate mounting accessories mean the Ax20 offers a high level of installation flexibility.
Detection can take place both via the edge of the web and on the basis of a line on the material.
