E3RA-DP23

Optical Sensors - Photoelectric, Industrial

When it comes to modern industry, optical sensors are indispensable production tools. They detect, analyze, and measure physical properties such as light, color, shape, and distance. In this context, the E3RA-DP23 is a great example of industrial-grade photoelectric sensor. Not only is this device highly efficient, but it is also cost-effective, robust, and versatile. In this article, we will take a closer look at the E3RA-DP23 including its application fields and its functional principle.

Application Field

The E3RA-DP23 is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its adjustable sensing range allows it to monitor objects at distances of up to 1000 mm, and its robust, waterproof construction makes it suitable for use in wet and extreme weather conditions. This sensor is also versatile, as it supports several different modes of operation that allow it to monitor different parameters ranging from the presence of an object to its shapes, sizes, and colors. Additionally, this device is highly efficient due to its low current consumption of 0.45mA at 5V DC.

The E3RA-DP23 is well-suited for industrial applications, especially in packaging and assembly lines. It can be used to detect sections of the assembly line where parts may be mismatched, to verify the quality of a product, and to detect deviations in weight or dimension. It can also be used in the production of optical reading systems to detect the presence of objects for sorting or labeling. Additionally, the E3RA-DP23 can be used in robotics applications such as manufacturing, welding, and soldering.

Working Principle

The E3RA-DP23 operates by emitting an invisible light-beam from its transmitter, which then reflects off of the object being monitored and is detected by the device’s receiver. This action activates the device’s internal relay, which can be used to trigger an alarm or other action. Additionally, this device has two further modes that it can operate in. The first is a detection mode, which is used to detect the presence of an object. The second is a positioning mode, which monitors the objects position relative to the light beam. This mode is especially useful for controlling robotic arms.

In addition to these basic features, the E3RA-DP23 also supports two-point and three-point light-beam operations. In two-point mode, the light beam is used to detect objects in two predetermined locations, while in three-point mode, a separate light beam is used to detect shapes and colors.

Conclusion

The E3RA-DP23 is a cost-effective, industrial-grade photoelectric sensor that can be used in a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in extreme weather conditions, and its adjustable sensing range makes it appropriate for monitoring objects at distances of up to 1000 mm. Additionally, the E3RA-DP23\'s versatile design allows it to be configured in several different operational modes, ranging from basic presence detection to more sophisticated three-point light-beam operations to detect shapes and colors. This device is reliable, efficient, and cost-effective, making it an ideal choice for industry.
