ML8 Miniature Photoelectric Sensors - Sense with Perfection
The photoelectric sensor for the detection of printed circuit boards
Photoelectric Sensor ML8-8-HGU for printed circuit board detection
Hardly any electronic devices are produced these days without a printed circuit board. The precise and reliable handling of printed circuit boards on conveyor systems and at buffer stations, right through to the application of inscriptions and the equipping of the circuit boards is necessary for economic success.
The sensor solutions currently in use – from ultrasonic sensors and basic diffuse mode photoelectric sensors, to fiber optic solutions – are usually not optimal in terms of their technical features in this application. Small, ‘tailored’ sensors, such as the ML8 miniature photoelectric sensor, which can be integrated with little expense, are the preferred solution.

Edge detection of a printed circuit board is important to its equipping and transportation. Holes, indentations and components on the printed circuit board must not influence this function and are reliably ignored by this photoelectric sensor. Circuit boards of different colors or textures are not a problem. The very bright light spot facilitates simple alignment. The backgrounds are securely suppressed.

The ML8-8-HGU miniature photoelectric sensors are available with an application-typical, fixed detection range of 30 or 50 mm, so that they can be simply and quickly integrated into the application without operating expense. Operating errors in alignment and maintenance are excluded.
