Full-Spectrum Sensor
July 1, 2016
KEYENCE Corp. of America has released the LR-W series, a full-spectrum sensor designed to detect changes in appearance.
The LR-W is capable of analyzing the full visible light spectrum. "This technology allows users to handle countless applications with ease. Solve everything from simple presence/absence applications to complex applications that require operators to detect the slightest differences in a shade of color," said a company spokesperson.
The LR-W can be calibrated quickly with its one-touch teach function. "The detailed digital display and highly visible indicator light were designed with the user in mind," said the spokesperson.
Featuring a 500 mm range, the LR-W can be mounted wherever needed. To help ensure stable detection, the sensor features an adjustable beam spot. This allows the LR-W to achieve a focused beam spot, even at long distances. Additionally, an IP65/67 enclosure rating helps minimize the need for maintenance and provide longevity in demanding environments.
"Given the extent of what the LR-W can do, photo eye standardization throughout a facility is now possible," said the spokesperson.
