| The 45PVA is a photoelectric parts verification array ideally suited for bin picking applications and object detection in the parts assembly industry. When used as part of a suitably configured bin-picking system, the 45PVA effectively prevents mis-picks to enhance efficiency and minimize down time. It is also the ideal sensing solution for today’s error-proofing initiatives, particularly those in the automotive industry.
The 45PVA uses transmitted beam technology to create a light screen that can be spanned across bins at an assembly station. By mounting the separate emitter and receiver units on each side of a bin opening and wiring the receiver output into a controller programmed with the necessary logic, a virtually error-free bin-picking process can be achieved. Job lights on the 45PVA will not only show the assembler the bins required to complete the current process, but will also indicate the correct picking sequence. In the event the assembler attempts to pick an incorrect part, a warning light on the 45PVA will illuminate to indicate the error. Additional fault enunciation can be achieved via controller logic in conjunction with a tower light or audible alarm.
In addition to increasing efficiency and quality control by preventing faults in the bin-picking process, the 45PVA is instrumental in personnel stress reduction and the simplification of personnel training—especially in multi-lingual facilities. Additional features include:
- Optional red warning light indicator to notify operator of incorrect component selection
- NPN or PNP dip switch selectable output reduces crib inventory requirements
- Two frequency, dip switch selectable cross talk protection
