How to choose a detection light curtain?


Question: How to buy a detection light curtain? What machine is there to buy a detection light curtain sensor? First of all, we must make clear that the measurement grating has a high requirement for customization. We must buy a real detection light curtain manufacturer, and the function requirements are complete. In the case of meeting our requirements, the measuring grating manufacturer is also required to have complete after-sales services.

1. Key points-brand selection: In recent years, the brands of measuring gratings have been mixed. The barriers to entering the detection grating industry can be high or low, so choosing a brand that is guaranteed is also a very important link. If the purchase quantity is large, it is best to conduct a factory inspection. To choose a strong manufacturer. These are real brand measurement grating manufacturers. Of course, most of the products are exported, and both quality and after-sales will have more advantages.

2. Inquiry--Inquiry function: The inspection light curtain is a customized product. Before purchasing the inspection light curtain, we must ask more. It is best to communicate with the technical engineer of the inspection light curtain to see if it can be fully satisfied. Our own needs.

3. Attention-Selection: In the selection of measuring grating sensor, attention should be paid to height, distance, spacing, output mode, etc. The user should select the corresponding model parameters according to the actual situation of the machine equipment.

4. Finally-after-sales service: after-sales service is also very important to purchase measuring gratings. It is best for the manufacturer to have a dedicated after-sales team and a service after-sales point in each city. In this way, if there is a problem, it can be dealt with in time. There is also a warranty period. We had better write it into the contract when buying. The warranty period should be as long as possible. Of course, the best service is the service without service!

The transmitter and receiver of the detection light curtain of the product series are small in appearance, light in weight, and very easy to install. The mounting bracket attached with the sensor can allow a rotation angle of ±30°. First determine the installation positions of the detector light curtain transmitter and receiver, and ensure that they are in the same plane, and their midpoints can be completely aligned. Install the mounting bracket with anti-vibration bolts and M4 screws (included with the sensor). In occasions where the vibration is not strong, M4 or #8-32 bolts can be used instead of shock-proof bolts. Although the internal circuits of the measuring grating transmitter and receiver can resist strong vibrations, we still recommend the use of shock-proof bolts to eliminate possible damage to the sensor caused by strong vibrations.

Install the transmitter and receiver on the bracket, and install their lenses face to face, and their cable outlet directions should be the same. Measure the height of the two to determine whether they are aligned, make appropriate adjustments to make the transmitter and receiver completely aligned, and finally tighten the screws.

Reminder: Check the precautions for the cable layout of the light curtain. Connect the cables to the transmitter and receiver. You can cut off the excess cables. The transmitter and receiver use the same cables (2 cables are required for each system).
