EX-14B-CN03-M8

Optical sensors are used in a wide range of applications in industries ranging from industrial to aerospace. The EX-14B-CN03-M8 optical sensor is one such example. This device is a Modulated Infrared Beam Sensor (M8), that utilizes an optical array to detect metal objects in a range of environmental conditions. In this article, the application field and working principle of the EX-14B-CN03-M8 will be explored.

Application Field

The EX-14B-CN03-M8 is a highly reliable, compact optical sensor made to be used in steel fabrication applications. This device offers an array of features that find use in production lines of various industrial applications. The EX-14B-CN03-M8 is designed to identify metal objects in trays, on conveyors, in roll cages, and other areas in hazardous environments. It has a range of up to four meters with a high level of noise immunity, making it well-suited for use in areas with electrical disturbances. This device is also designed for use in extreme temperatures, and with an IP67 water resistance rating, it is exceptionally well-suited for use in wet or dusty environments.

Working Principle

The EX-14B-CN03-M8 works on the principle of a modulated infrared beam sensor. It sends out a narrow beam of infrared light, when it is interrupted by an object passing in front of it, the sensor emits a signal. This signal then returns to the emitter, and the presence of an object can be detected. The infrared beam has a long range and can easily detect small objects at a distance, making it well-suited for identifying and tracking items on production lines.

The EX-14B-CN03-M8 is designed to detect the presence of objects, its sensitivity is adjustable so it can detect objects of varying sizes. The sensor is compatible with most digital automation systems, allowing it to be integrated with existing systems or used in new systems.

Conclusion

The EX-14B-CN03-M8 is an optical sensor designed for use in industrial environments. It utilizes an modulated infrared beam to detect metal objects in a wide range of conditions. It is well-suited for use in hazardous or wet environments, with a high level of noise immunity and a range of up to four meters. It can be integrated with existing digital automation systems and offers adjustable sensitivity to detect objects of varying sizes.
