FOTEK eye-mark Photo Sensor FF-06X/FM-01G
The FOTEK FF-06X/FM-01G eye-mark photo sensor is a type of photoelectric sensor designed for detecting eye-marks or registration marks on moving materials, commonly used in printing, packaging, and labeling applications.
FOTEK FF-06X Sensor (Transmitter):
- Type: The FF-06X is the transmitter unit of the photo sensor.
- Light Source: Typically uses a visible red LED as the light source.
- Output: Provides a modulated infrared (IR) light beam.
- Detection Range: Effective detection range varies based on the reflective properties of the target material and the receiver unit’s sensitivity.
FM-01G Sensor (Receiver):
- Type: The FM-01G is the receiver unit that detects the reflected light from the transmitter.
- Light Detection: Receives and analyzes the modulated IR light beam from the FF-06X.
- Output Signal: Provides a digital output signal based on the presence or absence of the detected eye-mark.
Key Features:
- Digital Output: The FM-01G receiver unit provides a digital output signal (typically NPN or PNP) that indicates the presence or absence of the detected eye-mark.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Some models may feature adjustable sensitivity settings to fine-tune the detection performance based on the application requirements.
- Response Time: Offers fast response time suitable for high-speed production lines.
Installation and Setup:
- Mount the FF-06X transmitter and FM-01G receiver units facing each other with a suitable distance based on the required detection range.
- Align the sensor units to focus on the area where the eye-marks will pass.
- Adjust the sensitivity settings if applicable to optimize detection performance.
- Connect the output of the FM-01G receiver unit to a control system or PLC to actuate downstream processes based on the detection results.
Refer to the FOTEK FF-06X/FM-01G eye-mark photo sensor’s detailed specifications, installation guidelines, wiring diagrams, and troubleshooting information. Proper setup and calibration will ensure reliable and accurate performance of the sensor in your specific application.
