LX3EQ

The LX3EQ is a part sensing Light Screen Emitter for sensing small or flat parts at high speeds. Bipolar design offers both NPN (current sinking) and PNP (current sourcing) solid-state outputs. The LX series light screen sensing system consists of two self-contained units, an emitter and a receiver of equal size and sensing range. The emitter has multiple infrared LEDs spaced at 9.5mm increments and the receiver has corresponding photodiodes. The emitter sequentially fires each infrared LED. Multiple photodiodes in the receiver recognize each of the emitted pulses; the result is a cross-hatched optical pattern. Optical synchronization enables the receiver to recognize light from each of the emitter LEDs.

• 300mm to 2m range
• Quick-disconnect connector
• Emitter and receiver pair produce a strobed web of modulated light beams
• Simple, economical and highly reliable
• Fast response, output includes a 5ms pulse stretcher for interfacing reliability
• Simple wiring configuration, emitter and receiver do not need a synchronization wire
• Rugged, self-contained and compact construction, rated IEC IP65
