Operation guideline: Design data

When you design the pneumatic circuit using the air catch sensor, please refer to the data below. The detection distance of the
air catch sensor is between 10 and 300 μm. However, please note that stable detection cannot be done when supply pressure or
nozzle size are different.
Relation between Nozzle Diameter and Detection Distance

The data in the following charts are characteristics of hysteresis at the detection distance.
In case accuracy is required by the settings, the design should be made so that the hysteresis will stay within the optimum adjustment range not larger than
10 μm.
The smaller the hysteresis, the better the sensitivity. In cases where the hysteresis exceeds 10 μm, the air catch sensor should be used to check the
presence of the work piece.

Response Time
Response time changes with detection distance and piping length. It is hardly influenced by the supply pressure and nozzle diameter (ø1.0 to ø2.0).
While both graphs assume a fixed set distance with changes in the detection distance, Fig. 2 shows responses at various set values and Fig. 3 shows
responses at various piping lengths. If the detection distance is equal to the set value, the response becomes quicker as the set value becomes smaller or
the piping length becomes shorter.

Relation between Nozzle Diameter and Detection Distance
The data in the following charts are characteristics of hysteresis at the detection distance.
In case accuracy is required by the settings, the design should be made so that the hysteresis will stay within the optimum adjustment
range not larger than 0.01 mm.
The smaller the hysteresis, the better the sensitivity. In cases where the hysteresis exceeds 0.01 mm, the air catch sensor should be
used to check the presence of the work piece.

Response Time
Response time changes with detection distance and piping length. It is hardly influenced by the supply pressure and nozzle diameter
(ø1.0 to ø2.0).
While all graphs assume a fixed set distance with changes in the detection distance, the upper charts show responses at various set
values and the lower charts show responses at various piping lengths. If the detection distance is equal to the set value, the response
becomes quicker as the set value becomes bigger or the piping length becomes shorter.

1. Disassembly 1. Loosen the screws and remove the 2 mounting brackets on the
front and back side.
2. Disassemble the switch carefully so that the O-ring on the SUP
port will not be detached.
End plate removal

Slot for removal
Hook the fingers on the top and

bottom removal grooves to pull out

Existing joint brackets It can be removed by pulling
horizontally.
2. Insertion Recess Protrusion 1. Fit seal for additional station (ISA-7-B) to the recess of the
SUP port of the additional switch.
2. Fit the protrusion of the additional switch into the existing
switch.
3. Mount joint brackets (ISA-3-A) at 2 positions.
Note) Perform temporary tightening of screws.
4. Confirm that the recess of the SUP port of the existing switch
has seal for additional station attached.
5. Fit the protrusion of the existing switch into the recess of the
additional switch.
Existing joint brackets Joint brackets (ISA-3-A) 6. Mount the existing joint bracket.
Note) Perform temporary tightening of screws.

3. Assembly
1. Tighten the joint brackets with the prescribed tightening torque
of 1.2 N×m.
2. Arrange pneumatic piping and confirm that there is no air leak-
age from new joints.
