Precise Measurement and Reliable Detection of Small Parts with the R20x Series from Pepperl+Fuchs
R20x Series Photoelectric Sensors in the Automotive Industry
Reliability and precision are crucial in automotive bodyshell manufacturing. Many jobs are carried out by robots. This is where R20x sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs come into play by enabling the robots to perform their work smoothly. These photoelectric sensors determine the transport speed, measure the operating distances, and ensure the grip of the robots as well as the detection of small parts and features.
Variety of Applications for the R20x Series
R201 retroreflective sensors with polarization filter enable the transportation of bodyshell components. The components are moved along the production line on transport platforms—or skids—and delivered to the various production stations. The photoelectric sensors detect the skids and regulate their speed …
R201 distance sensors with Multi Pixel Technology regulate position in automotive production and ensure that robots are gripping items securely. The sensors measure the distance to the side panel at various points. The robot control system uses this data to determine the optimal gripping coordinates for side panels that are placed in load carriers …
R201 triangulation sensors with background suppression are based on precise DuraBeam laser technology. With this technology, the photoelectric sensors detect the presence and correct installation of small objects and features such as screws. Faulty side panels are then rejected, ensuring that processes run smoothly …
Demand-Oriented Sensing Solutions for Measurement of Operating Distances
R20x and R10x series photoelectric sensors
R20x series sensors combine unique flexibility and a variety of possible applications. In addition to medium-sized R200 and R201 series, compact R100, R101, and R103 series with the same features are also available. They differ only in mounting method and housing design. While the R10x series master short-range applications, the R20x series are perfect for longer-range sensing.
