Proximity Sensor

1. What is a proximity sensor?
It is a device to detect object with no contact, making use of changes in a magnetic/ electric
field.













(1) Detection Mechanism
A proximity sensor create a net of electro/magnetic field and detects an object which enters the
field, just as a spider form its web and catches its prey.
The net is created by the magnetic lines originated from the oscillation circuit. When a
metallic object comes into the field, the magnetic lines get disordered, which is transmitted to
the oscillating circuit .The oscillating circuit will detect the object approaching and output the
decision.

(3) Classification

Detection mode and principles

Mode Principles

High frequency
Oscillation type
Inductance of detection coil
depends on the distance between
detection object and detection
coil, which will be incorporated
in the oscillating circuit, thereby
starts/ends oscillation and detects
the object. Most frequently used.

Differential coil
Same as above. It can detect a
subtle difference because it sees
the difference between detection
coil and comparison coil, which
enables long distance detection.








Magnetic
field type

Magnet Type
It opens/closes Lead switch, haul
elements by magnetic power of
permanent magnet. Need Careful
attention to low cost steel powder.


Electric
Field type

Capacitance
Changes in capacitance between
electrode and earth are
incorporated in the oscillation
circuit. It starts/ends oscillation
and detects an object. It reacts
with anything other than fluid

(4) Features of Proximity Sensor

1. Stable operation, unsusceptible to water, oil, dust, light, etc..
Be able to use for machine tools splashed with cutting oil or food processing machine washed
with water (magnetic type).

2. Resistant to vibration and shock
Anti-vibration/shock since the whole circuit can be coated with resin.

3. Able to detect without any contact
Detection distance is bout 0-30mm. No damage on an object.

4. Higher speed/performance compared with limit switch
Long life and quick response.

5. Magnetic type is for metal detection, capacitance is for everything except fluid
Liquid in a paper cup can be also detectable.

6. Susceptible to magnet effect

Whirling electric current in the object



















Aluminum Case






















Aluminum
Whirling current flows deep inside of an object
due to low transparent ratio. Small anti-magnetic
bundle occurs from the surface and inside as well.
Therefore a proximity sensor can only detect an
object within a short distance.

Steel
Whirling current flows densely on the very
surface due to high transparent ratio. Therefore,
large anti-magnetic bundle occurs on the surface.
As a result a proximity sensor can detect from
the distance.
Thick Aluminum
Whirling current flows deep inside an
Object and anti-magnetic bundle is small.
(Surface effect)
Thinner than surface effect
Whirling current tries to flow deep inside an object
but thickness of aluminum is quite limited, so that
the current is stuck on the surface. The thinner a
plate is, the larger the current flows on the surface.
Detection distance is closer to that for magnetic
metal when it is less than 10m in thickness.

Surface effect
Electric current flows equally in a conductor when
frequency is low (DC), but flows densely on the surface
and sparsely inside with high frequency. The higher the
magnetic transparent ratio is, the higher this tendency is.

(4) Wiring (See Chapter 5.2)

(5) Electric Leak
In case of 2-wire sensor, electricity is leaking even if the sensor is off. As a result, small
voltage remains in a load and failure for a load to return may happen

<Measures>
Connect a leakage resistance and bypass electric leakage that flows in a load, thereby make it
less prior to failure

4. Effective Use of Sensor

(1) Accuracy In Repetitive Detection
For an application such as positioning, the closer a sensor is put to an object, the more accurate
will be the result.














(2) Stable Detection
Set the distance within 80% of specified detection distance. The sensor is workable in all the
temperatures and voltage stated in the specifications.














(3) Safe Installation
An object is detectable regardless of whether it is positioned vertically or horizontally to the
detection head of sensor. However, it is recommended that the detection object should flow
horizontally to the detection head in order to protect the main body.

Photo Electric Sensor

1. What is a photo electric sensor?
A device that uses transmitted light rays for detecting the existence of an object without
coming into contact with the object

<Application>











1) Attributes of light


























Photo electric
sensor
Counter
Motor
[Automatic door]
A floodlight light receiver is installed in
somewhere in front of a door where people
are to pass. When someone comes, the
light will be blocked, thereby the receiver
detects some existence and sends a signal
to the motor to open the door.

Straight
Light travel straight in the air or water

Reflection
Mirror or glass reflects directly the light
just as surface of sea or lake. White paper
reflects the light in every direction, which
is called diffused reflection
Refractiion
When the light is thrown slantly onto the
glass or water, some is reflected and some go
straight, in which case the direction would be
slightly changed.

(4) Features

1. Long sensing distance
Detection is done with no contact, so an object is seldom affected by detection.

2. No limitation on detection object
Detection is done by surface reflection, penetrating light, etc., so not only metal but also
glass, plastic, lumber, liquid, etc. can be detected.

3. Quick response
Detection means itself is high speed without machine-like movement, the response speed
is also very quick.

4. High resolution
Light is linear and wavelength is short, so that resolution is quite high. Suitable for small
object detection and high accuracy.

5. Visible detection area (Visible rays)
Light is easily condensed, diffused or refracted by optical means such as lens to make
diffusion, refraction. A sensor with adequate detection area can be chosen according to
detection object or environment.

6. Optical fiber can be used
Light can be thrown or received by optical fiber, so that it can be installed even in a
limited or dangerous space using optical fiber.

7. No magnetic influence
The environment where a sensor is installed is most likely a place where heavily leaked
magnetic exists. This sensor is not susceptible to this magnetic leakage, so it can provide
stable operation.

8. Vulnerable to oil/dust attached to lens
If a lens gets dirty, a beam of light will be scattered or blocked. In case a sensor is used in
such an environment with oil, vapor, dust, etc. filled in the place, adequate protection is
required.

9. May be susceptible to strong surrounding light
Normal lighting seldom affects the function of this sensor, but a strong beam like sun
beam may cause malfunction or damage a sensor, if the light receiver is exposed to the
beam directly.

2. Features by detection mode

(1) Penetrating type (Thru-beam type)

Detection Mode
Install the floodlight and receiver face to face. The light from the floodlight is received in
the receiver. When a detection object blocks the light, the light received in the receiver
will change. Detection is done according to this change.








Features
Stable operation and long detection distance (3-4 cm to 30-40cm)
Sensing position remains the same even if the position where an object
passes by changes
Luster, color, slant of an object seldom affects the function.

Adjusting mode (see chapter 5.5)

(2) Retro-reflective type

Mode of detection
The floodlight and receiver in one unit. The light from the floodlight is reflected in the
reflection board installed in front of the floodlight and gets back to the receiver. When an
object blocks the light, the volume received by the receiver changes and thereby detection is
done.










Features
Sensing distance 3-4 cm to 3-4 m
Easy wiring, easy adjustment of light axis (saving)
No influence by color and slant of detection object
Suitable for detection of minor change because the light go thru an
object twice
If the surface of an object is a mirror type, the receiver will receive
reflected light from an object itself, which may cause the same status
for no object. This is prevented with MSR (Mirror surface Reflection)
function.

Mode of detection
Light from floodlight is set to hit an object at 90 and the receiver is set to receive only
diffused light from the object. As a result, not influence by the luster but light/ shade can be
detected. Light source comes in red LED and green LED. It is necessary to choose one light
source according to an object and the color underneath it.

(5) Sensing object and response speed
Response speed is the duration from the point when the sensor detects and object to the point
when it send a signal. Response speed of sensor is decided depending on the size of object and
movement speed.

<How to chose response speed>

Existence detection

80% of response time for detection









Positioning detection
The faster the speed of the product that is to be detected, the higher
the accuracy the sensor must have
The faster the response speed of the sensor is, the more vulnerable the
sensor is to noise.

Relation with connected device
If the response speed is too fast, the machine connected to it (such as
PLC may not be able to catch the signal.
It is necessary to choose a sensor with adequate response speed to your
need and conditions
















Size of object (mm)
Movement speed of object (m/sec)
= Movement duration (m/sec)
eg) Size of object 1mm
Blocked duration 1msec
Movement speed of object 1m/sec


Sensors response speed 0.8~1 msec

Surrounding
Illumination
It is indicated as illumination in the
receivers receiving surface and also as
surrounding illumination which
changes 20 % to 200 l of receiving
output. This is not operation limit lighting
until malfunction occurs.




Illumination on the surface is measured as
(A) in the left figure. External disturbance
light affects the receiver. Therefore, the
measurement of (A) is the basis of external
light disturbance illumination.




Illumination in (B) and (C) is
indefinite because the degree of
influence on the receiver changes
according to set distance D and
reflection ratio in the white paper






M.S.R Function
(Mirror Surface
Reflection)
Light receiving function from retro-
reflector, using built-in polarized filter and
features of retro-reflector.

The light which goes thru polarized
filter at the floodlight side, changes
into horizontal wave.
The light which reflects in the
triangular pyramid of the reflector,
changes into vertical wave.
That reflected light reaches receiving
element thru polarized filter at
receiving side.
