Datalogic Sensors

Datalogic has a broad family of sensor products available. They offer a comprehensive product portfolio of photoelectric and proximity sensors, rotary encoders, temperature controllers and measurement devices. These product lines offer solutions for applications involving color, contrast and luminescence, label detection, dimensional measurement and distance sensing and measurement.

Inductive sensors are for non-contact detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets at ranges typically less than 50mm (2 inches). Inductive proximity sensors emit an alternating electro-magnetic sensing field. Once a metal target enters the sensing field, eddy currents are evoked on the target, reducing the signal amplitude and triggering a change of state at the device output.

Photoelectric sensors offer non-contact reliable detection of targets.  They emit infrared, red or laser light and the target breaks the light beam or reflects the beam back to the sensing element to activate the device output. Photoelectric sensing modes are divided into 3 primary varieties, those being through-beam, retro-reflective and diffuse There are many sizes and shapes of photoelectric sensors available from Datalogic. This can provide you with the best mounting of the system and sensing distances for your particular application. ISE Controls in Indianapolis, Indiana will work with you to provide the best cost effective solution for your needs.

Datalogic distance measuring sensors incorporate Time of Flight (T.O.F.) technology: the measurement of the distance is calculated from the time between the instant the light is generated to the moment the emitted light is mirrored off the target and back to the sensing element. From this measured time, there is an analog signal generated that is proportional to the distance within the sensor’s range. This technology provides an easy to integrate signal with very accurate and quick results.
With Datalogic industrial area and dimension light grids, many light beams are used to measure the height of an object by seeing which beams are blocked by the object. Area and Dimension light grids utilize many light beams for space or dimensional measurements of objects. This data is fed to a controller or computer to store the measured dimension of the part. Models of light grids vary by length to match every application. ISE Controls in Indianapolis, Indiana can decide the best Datalogic product for your measurement needs.

Contrast

Datalogic contrast sensors have the ability to detect the change in the intensity of the light returning to the sensor from a target. When the change occurs, an output is energized to tell a controller of this occurrence. A typical application of these sensors is the detection of color registration marks on printing machines to change the color of ink used. Also they are used on packaging machines to synchronize the folding, cutting and fastening phases of forming boxes. ISE Controls’ personnel are well versed on contrast sensing to help you improve your processes. Contact them today in their Indianapolis, Indiana facility.

Luminescence sensor
Luminescence sensors emit invisible UV light that excites fluorescent and phosphorescent surfaces, shifting into the visible light spectrum. Luminescence sensors are employed in many industrial fields to sense objects containing phosphor. Examples are, labels on glass or mirrors, fluorescent marks marked on tiles, fluorescent glues on paper, cutting and stitching guides, as well as fluorescent paints or lubricants.

Fork
A fork sensor is a specific model of the through beam sensor, Where an emitter and receiver are placed opposite to each other on the interior sides of a slotted housing. Any target passing through the interior slot interrupts the beam and is detected. Typical fork sensor applications are hole/teeth detection on wheels, label detection on thin supports, and edge detection or continuity of sheets of labels or tapes. The emission is usually infrared or red light so as to detect colored registration marks on semitransparent films.


Color

Datalogic color sensors utilize different color LEDs to determine the color of an object. The tolerance is adjusted on the sensor to detect the difference between two different colors or between two different shades of the same color. Color sensors solve a large number of applications, such as quality and process controls to automatic material handling for the identification, orientation, and sorting of objects per their color.
