Contrast sensor provides reliable mark detection. (Packaging Equipment).


Omron The OMRON Corporation (オムロン株式会社   has solved the problem of detecting target marks that contrast with their background with the development of the new E3MV contrast sensor A device that measures or detects a real-world condition, such as motion, heat or light and converts the condition into an analog or digital representation. An optical sensor detects the intensity or brightness of light, or the intensity of red, green and blue for color systems. . Providing that the mark is discernable Adj. 1. discernable - perceptible by the senses or intellect; "things happen in the earth and sky with no discernible cause"; "the newspaper reports no discernible progress in the negotiations"; "the skyline is easily discernible even at a distance of several  against the background the E3MV will be able to detect any differentiations.

Setting up the sensor to recognise the target or adjusting the threshold can be performed either locally, on the device itself, or remotely via an HMI (Human Machine Interface) The user interface in a manufacturing or process control system. It provides a graphics-based visualization of an industrial control and monitoring system.  or similar user interface. This means that the user can precisely set the pass/fail limits of the target, offering a reliable response and allowing long term monitoring of the production line. The E3MV can also work at high speeds; a 30ms switching time enables the device to detect contrasting marks in high-speed positioning applications. For easy integration it is fitted with a standard M12 industrial connector (this can be rotated rotated

 through 90 degrees) and is available in either light on or dark on light PNP output versions, and offers a sensing range of up to 900mm.

Typical applications include labelling, positioning, high speed mark detection and colour mark detection.
