GX-MK18A-P-Z

Proximity sensors are electromagnetic sensing solutions that detect the presence of objects without physical contact. The GX-MK18A-P-Z is a quadrature optical encoder that employs a symmetrical light beam transmission configuration. It is suitable for high-count linear and rotary encoding applications including surface scanning, radiation sensing detection, and more. This proximity sensor is well-suited for an array of industrial areas, including manufacturing, automation, robotics, and materials handling.

The GX-MK18A-P-Z has an advanced design consisting of an array of four magnetic coil (MCA) photodiodes. Each photodiode is connected to an electromechanical timer circuit, which is responsible for providing an oscillating pulse output indicating the magnetic field strength. The output frequency generated by the sensor is proportional to the magnetic signal strength. The output signal is then used to detect objects from a distance and provide a precise indication when motion is detected.

The GX-MK18A-P-Z works by using the MCA photodiodes to pick up changes in ambient magnetic fields and then convert these changes into an analog output. This is done by comparing the output voltage of the photodiode to a reference voltage and comparing this result to that of an oscilloscope. The strong magnetic field created by the photo diode will cause the oscilloscope to fluctuate, which can be used to detect any changes in movement.

The GX-MK18A-P-Z is equipped with an electronic control module to regulate the voltage output of the photodiodes and the frequency of the oscilloscope. In addition, the control module is responsible for enabling the sensor to detect changes in the magnetic field when it is in contact with a target. The control module can also control the speed of the oscilloscope to allow for further accuracy in detecting magnetic fields.

The GX-MK18A-P-Z is also capable of detecting angular or rotational movements. This is achieved by monitoring the angular changes in the magnetic field produced by the photodiode and using that data to slowly move the oscilloscope. This allows the sensor to measure the angular changes of the magnetic field and detect the motion patterns produced by the movement of the target.

The GX-MK18A-P-Z’s output signal can be connected to a PLC or other type of control system to provide further information on the motion of an object. This allows the device to be used in a wide range of industrial settings to detect movements of objects such as robotic arms, conveyor belts, and others.

The GX-MK18A-P-Z is a highly versatile and reliable proximity sensor designed for use in an array of industrial applications. Its wide range of features, such as its ability to detect angular and rotational movements, makes it an ideal choice for many industries including manufacturing, automation, robotics, and materials handling.
