µP BASED SENSORS WITH LED EMISSION

CONTRAST SENSORS

• ‘Teach-in’, ‘Remote’ setting and models with ‘Auto-Set’

• Red/green or white LED emission
• Various interchangeable lenses and fibre-optic versions
• Metal housing with orientable optics and connector

µ SERIES
TLµ
The TLµ µ series offers the most reliable and innovative solutions for all detection
applications of register marks and other neutral or coloured references.
The microprocessor-based setting can be either ‘Teach-in’ using two push-buttons
or ‘Remote’ by cable with the possibility of rapidly memorising and recalling 4
different formats. The setting can also be dynamic and completely automatic in the
models with the ‘Auto-Set’ function.
The LED emission can be red/green with automatic selection, or white offering the
possibility of operating on all contrasts, also amongst same-coloured objects and
backgrounds, presenting different surface treatments or workings.
Models with interchangeable 9 mm or 18 mm lenses are available; 22, 28 and 50
mm lenses are supplied as accessories. Moreover many different fibre-optic
models are available. The output is NPN or PNP according to the model, but is
always selectable by means of an internal switch; an analog output proportional to
the received light is also present.
