Electronics and PCBs

Accurate detection in PCB's and semiconductor production can be performed with high repeatibility using the LD30;
LD30 is a laser sensor with time-of-flight detection principle and background suppression, that can detect objects of various colours up to 1000 mm. The LD30 smart sensor provides unique predefined and selectable application functions: speed and length, pattern recognition, divider and object and gap monitoring. These embedded functions help the customer with additional data and decentralized controls which are very important to optimize the production process and enable predictive maintenance.

Detection of PCB's and electronic components in conveying systems can be performed with a high degree of accuracy using the PD30 IO-Link smart sensors; particularly optimized for small object detection is the PD30 with point-spot light source for the measurement up to 6 meters distance. The predefined and selectable application functions like speed and length, pattern recognition, divider and object and gap monitoring, provide the customer with additional data and decentralized controls to optimize the production process and enable predictive maintenance. For some specific applications in semiconductors, the PD30 is also available with an IR light source.

The CA capacitive sensors can be used to detect the PCB position, as well as the position of the wafers in semiconductor and solar panel production; in applications where the space is limited, the CD34 in its small square housing is the ideal solution.

Used to detect the open/closed position of the protection gates along the conveyors, the MC36 magnetic sensors assure target detection to 5 mm. These sensors are available with a variety of switching contacts for connection to safety controllers, such as the SMS31, and to provide a safety performance level up to Ple according to ISO EN 13849-1.
