Laser Sensor with OLED graphic display

 

SMARTEYE® SmartDot™

TRI-TRONICS® has introduced a unique Laser Sensor with an OLED graphic display that provides visible feedback of proper setup and continual monitoring of performance.

The SMARTEYE® SmartDot Laser Sensor is designed for General Purpose sensing applications, and can also be used for precise, small parts detection at long ranges. The consistently small laser beam is used to detect such things as a tab on a battery, a misaligned or missing bottle cap, or a cross-threaded can lid. The SmartDot Laser Sensor is easily aligned, easily set up, and designed for repeatability of performance from sensor to sensor. It is useful in general purpose applications such as a product detector for vision systems, and simple inspection applications. The sensor can also be used in high precision applications for small parts detection, critical identifying feature inspection, and detection of micro electronic packages.

The SMARTEYE® SmartDot Laser Sensor has an OLED display providing the kind of visual confirming information which makes setup a breeze, and instills confidence in the user as to the longterm performance of the sensor. Displaying all the necessary information to determine proper setup for maximum up-time was the ultimate deciding factor in including the OLED display in this highly capable sensing device. For any applications, either general purpose, or those requiring small spot precision, the SmartDot Laser Sensor from Tri-Tronics is an excellent choice.

New True Color Sensor

Tri-Tronics has released a new true color sensor. From the Tri-Tronics market release:

Designed to work as well as an instrument or spectrometer, this sensor can solve the most difficult color applications at higher speeds than color cameras or the closest priced competitive product. The 4 Channel Monitor provides a visual confirmation of performance without having to switch channel selections or touch the sensor in any way.

Benefits:

• Low cost color solution; vs. color camera, competitive sensors, or spectrometers 
• Visual verification of individual channel performance 
• One model fits all applications; selectable outputs, timers, resolution, speed, etc. 
• Internal logic removes the need for extra processing; ex. Input for latch reset 
• Quick disconnect for easy changeover 
• Solves shade-to-shade or color-to-color applications 
• Capture colors from HMI, PLC, or remote button 

Features:

• 4-Channel Monitor for At-A-Glance performance feedback 
• 4-Digital Outputs; NPN or PNP (selectable) 
• 3-Analog Outputs; 0-5VDC - XYZ or xyY (selectable) 
• Light On, Dark On, or Mute selection for each channel 
• Speed versus Resolution (selectable) 
• Color versus Color + Intensity (selectable) 
• Remote Color Capture 
• 14-Wire, 6 Foot Cable, or 6 Inch Pigtail ¼ Turn Connector 
• Input for Latch Reset/Inhibit or Windowing 
• Adjustable Light Intensity; 1 to 100 
• Adjustable Tolerance for each channel; 1 to 50 
• Adjustable Timers; 1 millisecond to 10 seconds 
• Off Delay 
• On Delay 
• One Shot 
• Latch

We are enthused about this new sensor and the sensor's potential to make improvements for our customers.  At approximately $750 each this sensor can solve applications that  previously required much more expensive and complex solutions.

If you would like to see a demo of this sensor, or would like us to test an application in our sensor lab please contact us.

Registration mark sensor with (5µs) repeatability

Tri-Tronics Company, Inc. has introduced the new SMARTEYE® X-MARK™ Photoelectric Registration Mark Sensor with a 10us response time and 5us repeatability.  This is the ideal sensor for registration mark sensing in today's packaging, printing and converting applications where higher speed and accuracy are demanded.
