Pvd series parts verification sensor, Models, Overview

Diffuse or retroreflective sensor for error proofing of bin-picking operations
• One-component system, easy to mount and even easier to use. Automatically operates in
either diffuse or retroreflective mode, depending on the application
• Automatic setup and adjustment; wide beam pattern provides easy alignment
• Range up to 2 m (6.5 ft) when used with retroreflective target; 400 mm (15.7 in) when used
in diffuse mode
• Large job lights on either side of the metal housing can be remotely controlled to initiate
user action with a solid or a blinking green light; job lights turn red to indicate bin-picking
errors
• Compact package size; only 30 mm wide x 15 mm deep (1.2 in x 0.6 in)
• Available in 2 lengths to fit existing parts bin sizes and configurations
• Easy DIP-switch adjustments: PNP/NPN output, normally open/normally closed operation,
solid/flashing job light, and gate polarity for job light activation
• Two LEDs indicate power ON and output ON
• Choose 2 m (6.5 ft) unterminated cable or 2 m (6.5 ft) cable with 5-pin Euro-style quick-
disconnect connector
• Heavy-duty protective brackets available
• 12 to 30V dc operation

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious
injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its
use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-
energized sensor output condition.

Overview
The PVD Series Parts Verification Sensor is a one-component, easy-to-use light screen suited to many part assembly, bin picking (pick-
to-light), and error-proofing applications. The PVD increases task efficiency due to simplified job training, increased quality control (no
skipped components), and reduced rework and inspections. It speeds the resumption of work after breaks and other distractions, and is
ideal for multilingual workplaces where communication is an issue.
The PVD self-contained, solid-state emitter/receiver array is capable of functioning in either diffuse or retroreflective sensing mode. No
configuration is required for this selection. If a retroreflective target is installed opposite the sensor, it will function in retroreflective mode.
If not, it will function in diffuse mode. The sensor’s ongoing self-adjustment feature requires no user adjustment; the sensor adapts to the
sensing conditions after 15 seconds when blocked. Sensor range decreases when no retroreflector is installed.

• 9 m (30 ft) cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (for example, PVD100 W/30)
• 150 mm (6 in) cable terminated in a QD connector available by adding “W/6IN” to model number of any terminated sensor (for example, PVD100Q W/6IN). A model with a QD
connector requires a mating cable; see
