BWML Series

• Customized Models Available 

  Users can order customized models with different sensing channels and sensing target pitch size depending on user requirements. 

  

• Line Beam Sensing Method for Stable Glass Substrate Detection

  The diffuse reflective line beam method with location image mapping minimizes non-detection area and influence from harsh external conditions. This sensing method allows stable detection of ultra-thin glass substrates.

  

Background Sensing Mode, Installation Instruction Mode and Auto Teaching Function

The installation instruction mode allows users to check if the detection target object is in proper position using the output indicators. The auto teaching function allows all sensing channels to be set in uniform light amount for optimal sensitivity setting.

• Background Sensing Mode

  

  ※ Background Sensing : Red LED Indicator / Undetected : Green LED Indicator

• Installation Instruction Mode

  

• Auto Teaching

  

  ※ When teaching error occurs, ‘E’ will be displayed in FND and restore to installation instruction mode after alternative LED blinks

Sensing Level Setting to Minimize Influence from Bent Glass or Scattered Reflections

The sensing level setting allows optimal sensing with minimal influence from bent glass or scattered reflections. The sensing level can be set between 1 to 5 sensitivity levels for stable detection in various environment settings. If the mapping sensor or cassettes are bent, sensitivity adjustments can be made without removing the glass substrates.

• CC-Link, EtherCAT Communication Protocol Support

  The units offer support for CC-Link or EtherCAT communication support and also offer options for connector type connection or terminal type connection.

  

• Expanded User Convenience

  Various functions and settings available for user convenience on installation or operation. 

  Function	Description
  Status Indicator	Status Indicator Reversal
  CH Ordering Orientation	Forward (bottom = 1 CH) or Backward (top = 1 CH)
  Operation Mode	Light ON or Dark ON
  Error Output	Error Output Setting

• Channel Interference and External Light Alarm Function

  When a sensing channel is interfered by another glass substrate or the receiver receives external light besides the light from the emitter, the status indicator and the channel indicator will blink respectively. This will start the alarm output allowing stable and error-free operation.

  

• Check Operation Status with Bright Indicators

  The bright indicators allow users to easily check operation and communication status even from long distances.
