GX-H15A-P-R

Proximity sensors are used to detect the presence of an object without any contact, and generally use an electromagnetic field effect. GX-H15A-P-R proximity sensors are designed to detect the presence of ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects. This allows for easy recognition and control of machines, and speeds up recognition and object sorting, making automated processes much smoother.

What is GX-H15A-P-R?

GX-H15A-P-R is a cost-effective metal-detecting proximity sensor manufactured by the Japanese company Omron. It has a sensing distance of 15mm, and is available in three output formats: NPN open collector, NPN open collector Hatching, and PNP open collector. The sensing range is adjustable and the sensing head is available in two versions: standard and window type. The GX-H15A-P-R has an operating voltage range of 10 to 30 volts and is also available with an LED indicator and an optional current-limiting resistor.

GX-H15A-P-R Application Field and Working Principle

GX-H15A-P-R proximity sensors are used in a variety of applications, including industrial automation, process control, material handling, robot applications, and sorting machines. The sensing principles of these sensors vary depending on the version, but generally involve an alternating magnetic field. The sensor creates an alternating magnetic field when current passes through it, and when a metal object enters the field, eddy currents are generated in the object. These eddy currents induce a signal that is then detected by the sensor, triggering an output.

Features and Benefits

The GX-H15A-P-R proximity sensors have several features and benefits that make them ideal for a wide range of applications. The sensors provide a reliable and repeatable sensing distance of 15 mm, and are available in three different output formats for easy interface with other equipment. The adjustable sensing range allows for easy adjustment to suit the application, and the optional LED indicator provides increased visibility. The optional current-limiting resistor offers protection against potential damage from EMC (electro-magnetic compatibility) noise. In addition, the sensor has a high dielectric strength and can handle up to 1 KV, making it suitable for a variety of industrial environments.

Conclusion

GX-H15A-P-R proximity sensors are designed for use in a variety of industrial applications. These sensors are cost-effective, reliable, and easy to integrate with other equipment. The three output formats provide easy integration with other equipment, while the adjustable sensing range, LED indicator, and optional current-limiting resistor add to the versatility of the sensor. The high dielectric strength and 1000V rating make the sensor suitable for use in a wide range of industrial environments.
