 Various functions to ensure the best mark sensing.
Sensing modes can be selected depending on the application.
Has a built-in ‘Mark mode’ that realizes a ultra quick 45 ¨s response time as well as a ‘Color mode’
offering the best mark color discrimination capacity. Use either of these modes as per the application.

Mark mode
This sensing mode automatically selects a single
color from the 3 R • G • B LEDs to realize an ultra
quick 45 !s response time. The automatic optimal
LED selection function automatically selects the LED
RED that is most suitable for the sensing. This function is
perfect for ultra quick sensing.

BLUE

Automatic selection
Automatic optimal LED selection function
The 3 colors of the R•G • B LEDs are optimally selected according to the color combination. With the LX-100’s Mark mode, the built-in
‘Automatic optimal LED selection function’ automatically selects the LED for the largest contrast (S / N ratio) between the mark and base (non-
mark area) to ensure optimal sensing. For more stable detection, the sensor makes selection according to the contrast and not according to
the reflected light variation between the mark and base (non-mark area).

With mark sensing, the larger the received light

variation is, the easier sensing becomes. Also, the
higher the received light ratio (contrast) is, the
more sensing is stabilized. The example on the
right deals with reflected light on packing film.
Great figures are indicated for the blue LED’s light
amount ratio and, for even more stable sensing, the

Color mode
All 3 R • G • B LEDs light up and high precision mark color
discrimination occurs using the R • G • B reflective light
ratio. This function enables effective detection of films with
patterns around the area of the mark.

The color around letters is

detected as a mark.

Predetermined colors are

detected as marks.

High precision mark color discrimination

The color mode on the LX-100 series utilizes all 3 R• G • B LEDs to determine the R• G • B ratio of the mark color. The built-in 12-bit A/D
converter enables high precision 1/4000-resolution judgments. The figure below is a graphic description of this process.

OFF key at the base (non-mark area). When doing so, the operator does not have to consider L-ON / D-ON.
2) Sensing accuracy can be set to either FINE (standard) or COARSE.
3) The percent display is only enabled in mark mode.
4) ECO mode is a function that reduces power consumption by turning off the digital display in the event no button operations are made for a
predetermined time (approx. 10 sec. or more) in RUN mode. Press any button to turn the digital display on again.
5) The turn mode is a function that reverses the digital display making it easily viewed in the event the sensor installation renders the display up-side-down.
