Sensors detect even the finest nuances in colour
A compact and cost effective solution for colour recognition in industrial applications is now available from sensing specialist Vydas International Marketing.
The M-5000/95 sensor is manufactured by Massa Products Corp USA, for more than 50 years a recognised leader in the design and manufacture of electroacoustic transducers and systems for use in air and underwater.
The product is available in Europe from sensing and instrumentation specialist Vydas International Marketing.
The M-5000/95 stands out over all other systems because of its extraordinary ease of use and operation, genuinely user-friendly software, versatility in user controlled outputs, and the ability to be set up without using a target.
The sensor transmits narrow beam sound pulses at a user-selected rate (or it can be externally triggered), processes return echoes, and produces several outputs depending on the position of the target.
Operating from 12 to 28V DC, the M-5000/95 provides non-contact measurement over a nominal target range of 0.3 to 4.0m.
Maximum programmable distance is 6.0m for special applications.
Outputs include a 0 to 20 or 4 to 20mA DC analogue current loop, two independent setpoint switches, and echo status by both an LED indicator and an Echo Status Output switch.
The system parameters and outputs are fully user programmable via an RS485 datalink, thereby eliminating the sealing and tampering problems associated with adjustment potentiometers or pushbuttons.
The sensor has built in compensation for speed-of-sound changes due to air temperature variations. Request a free brochure from Vydas International Marketing ...
