LED gets to the point
SICK (UK) has increased the intensity, brightness and accuracy of opto-sensor technology with the new Pin-Point LED.
The Pin-Point, which delivers performance comparable to a short-range laser scanner, will significantly broaden the range and performance of SICK's LED-based photoelectric switches and photoelectric proximity switches.
A new design of LED, the Pin-Point vastly increases light spot intensity and concentrates the energy on a much smaller area. Pin-Point boasts greater functional reserves, improved detection reliability and the capacity to detect longer ranges.
Using the Pin-Point, SICK photoelectric switches can detect much smaller objects, down to 1mm, and distances up to 500mm, providing an innovative alternative to Laser diode photoelectric switches.
