Function
The RLG28 retro-reflective area sensor contains several transmitters and receivers in one housing and with a reflector positioned opposite forms a 60 mm detection area over a sensing range of 4 m.
When the light beams are interrupted by an object, the switching function is triggered. The smallest detectable object size is 12 mm. The RLG28 switches at a 10% contrast difference with a response time of 1 ms. An intelligent gain control compensates for effects such as dirt, misalignment, and temperature.
