Recognizing the importance of flexibility and value in control systems, Rockwell Automation continues to introduce new sensors that help make installations simpler while addressing the market’s ever-changing needs.
45BPD & 45BRD
The new Allen-Bradley 45BPD and 45BRD photoelectric sensors are intended for industrial applications requiring reliable non-contact inspection, positioning and measurement. These sensors are completely self-contained in an IP67 enclosure and do not require any external control devices which add cost and require additional mounting space. In addition, the 45BPD and 45BRD utilize a class 2 laser which has a visible red beam spot that simplifies alignment in small part detection and measurement applications. Both are excellent solutions for a wide range of non-contact measurement applications requiring sensing range up to 300mm (approximately 1 foot). Typical applications include: distance measurement, part profiling, thickness measurement, error proofing, inspection, verifying material position, hole-depth, warpage and part positioning.
The 45BRD model can be set up by simply mounting the sensor such that the target is within the operating range. The 0…10V DC output is scaled linearly over the sensor's range (45…85mm) and there are no user adjustments, making the 45BRD the easiest to apply laser measurement solution available.
The 45BPD is a more advanced model that is set up easily by mounting the sensor with the target within the sensing range (30…100mm or 80…300mm) and teaching the appropriate set-points for the application via convenient Teach-In buttons on the top of the sensor. For optimal application flexibility, the 45BPD offers both a discrete PNP output and a 4…20mA analog output which is automatically scaled between the taught set-points. Plus, the 45BPD includes lock-out features to prevent tampering with the set points, a control to disable the laser during operation, and an averaging mode to smooth fluctuations for reliable detection of rough surfaces.
45BPD & 45BRD Features
- Non-contact measurement
- Visible red Class 2 laser for small beam spot and alignment
- Self-contained sensor does not require external control devices
- 270°rotatablemicro quick disconnect connector
- Fixed range model has no user adjustment for ease of use
- Teach-In models provide a discrete PNP output and an analog output which is automatically scaled between taught set points
- Teach-In models have configurable discrete output (N.O./N.C.), laser disable control, averaging mode and lock-out capabilities
45CPD
The new Allen-Bradley 45CPD line of photoelectric sensors is ideal for industrial applications requiring long range detection (up to 6m) with a small beam spot and non-contact measurement. These sensors are completely self-contained in an IP67 enclosure and do not require any external control devices which add cost and require additional mounting space. In addition, the 45CPD utilizes a class 2 laser for ease of alignment during the sensor setup but switches to a class 1 "eye safe" IR laser when in the normal operating mode. The 45CPD is set up quickly and easily using the Teach-In buttons on the top of the sensor and can be programmed for several operating modes depending on the application: object position (analog output), object detection (single or dual discrete output), background suppression or reflector mode (using the background as the reflector).
The 45CPD is an excellent solution for several long-range, non-contact measurement applications including: error proofing, inspection, distance measurement, verifying material position, stack level, thickness measurement, roll diameter, web winding/unwinding, long standoff distance (hot or limited space), level monitoring and box width measurement. The 45CPD is set up easily by mounting the sensor with the target within the sensing range and teaching the appropriate set-points for the application via convenient Teach-In buttons on the top of the sensor. For optimal application flexibility, the 45CPD can be set with either one or two discrete PNP outputs and a 4…20 mA analog output which is automatically scaled between the taught setpoints.
45CPD Features
- Long distance non-contact measurement and detection (6m)
- Eye safe Class 1 laser for operation
- Visible red Class 2 laser for alignment during set-up
- Easy set-up using teach-in buttons
- Self-contained sensor does not require external control devices
- Two discrete outputs (PNP) and analog output (4…20mA)
- Analog output is automatically scaled between taught set points
- Discrete outputs configurable for either Light Operate or Dark Operate operation
