2. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
: Photoelectric proximity sensors detect all materials

: Standard application: Detection of packaging with background

: Photoelectric proximity sensors do not detect the interruption of the light beam, but
the reflection of the emitted light by the object
: There are 4 different detection technologies
Energetic Background suppression Time-of-flight (ToF) Foreground suppression
: the energy that is : triangulation; object is : Flight time of the light is : triangulation; the
reflected by the objects detected, background is measured; object is background is the
is evaluated suppressed detected, background is reference. If it is covered
suppressed the sensor switches

: influence of objects characteristics
: color : surface
: different colors have different remission : uneven surfaces will increase the diffuse
values. Bright colors reflect more light than remission of the light.
dark colors.

: influence of objects characteristics
: shape : object size
: round objects might reflect the light away : larger objects reflect more light than smaller objects (depending
from the receiver lens. on light spot size). This effect increases the scanning distance

Time-of-flight (ToF)
: Flight time of the light is

measured; object is
detected, background is
suppressed

TOF
 Distinction between Background Suppression (WTB) and Time of Flight (TOF)

Background Suppression (WTB):
 Sensors with WTB use the principle of triangulation.

 The position of the received light on the receiver elements distinguishes between object
and background.

TOF
Time of Flight (TOF):
Scanning distance
1 2
 The TOF – Method of detection measures the distance by calculating the time it takes for pulse-
emitted beam to leave the sensor (1), hit the target (2), and then return to the sensor (3).
 Objects in the background are suppressed.

3. PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
 Occupied Bay and Clearance Detection PowerProx™ Distance

PowerProx™ Small
▸ Storage and retrieval system, box load unit:

― Before items are stored, a TOF sensor checks
whether the allocated storage area is free
▸ Benefits:
― High sensing range up to 3.8 m
― Reliable detection also with critical object
surfaces and background reflections
― More flexibility in machine design due to a
small housing size

3. PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
 Precise Edge Detection and Rapid Counting PowerProx™ Speed

PowerProx™ Small
▸ High precision leading edge detection:

― Before a wooden board will be cut by a saw
blade, a TOF sensor determines the length of
the board
▸ Benefits:
― High performance and precision
― Time precise resolution of object edges at
sensing ranges between 10 cm and 2.5 m
― High availability and durability, also robust in
rough applications due to VISTAL®

Light spot shape
 Electronic industry, electronic card detection

Light spot shape
: detection of electronic cards with line sensor

Uneven an irregular objects
: Detection of shiny objects with MultiPac Sensor
