IO-Link supported

Connectable to various field networks via IO-Link Master.
Monitoring data of received light amount and output status can be communicated with PLC via IO-Link Master.
In addition, sensitivity, output mode and timer settings can be made via the field network.

Enhanced ambient illuminance resistance

Compared to the conventional models, the ambient illuminance (sunlight) has been improved by approximately 5 times, making it less susceptible to ambient light, which can cause malfunctions.
Conventional models
Sunlight: 10,000 lx or less, Incandescent lamp: 3,000 lx or less
Z4B Series
Sunlight: 50,000 lx or less, Incandescent lamp: 5,000 lx or less

High power LED provides stable detection

The Z4 Series through-beam type sensor has a 25 m sensing distance, the longest in its class.
The margin for the receiving light quantity has been increased significantly, helping the sensor overcome interference from dust or other fine particles.

Applications

Detecting or counting boxes flowing through a process                Detecting large packed items on a conveyor                       Detecting boxes protruding from shelves
