El LDR
(Light Dependent Resistor)
O resistencia dependiente de la luz, es una
resistencia que varia su valor en funcin de la luz
que incide sobre su superficie. Cuanto mas sea la
intensidad de luz que incida en su superficie menor
ser su resistencia y contra menos luz incida mayor
ser la resistencia.

PIROELEMENTOS
(SENSOR PIROELECTRICO)
Esta fabricado de un material cristalino que genera
una pequea carga elctrica al ser expuesto al calor
en forma de radiacin infrarroja.
Si la cantidad de radiacin es notable el cristal
cambia, aumenta la carga y puede ser medida con
un sensible dispositivo FET construido dentro del
sensor.

Dynamic Optical Windows

The BOWA

Dynamic sensing
Sensing grid recognizes moving objects
only allowing shuts or clear tubes to giude
parts through window. Optional for s tatic
output signals when an object is stationary
in the window. Optional for static output signals
when an object is stationary in the window.

100% coverage
Series of thru-beam light arrays
complete cover window opening,
detecting parts as small as 0.8mm

Sensitivity adjustment
Allows detection of larger
parts while ignoring smaller
parts.

Rugged housing
Anodized aluminum housing with
epoxy filed interior resist shock and
vibration, sealed to IP-65 standards.

Signal duration adjustment

Allows control systems enough
time to acknowledge the fast signaks.

Status LEDs
