SA1N Sensors developed by IDEC are transforming industrial automation with their advanced technology and compact design.
Automation demands maximum utilization of space in every application. Efficient manufacturing operations need small yet effective components as facilities continuously work to maximize their workspace arrangements. The design process of automated systems depends on the dimensions of their components to choose appropriate robots and related equipment including pneumatic cylinders and electric slides. Larger component dimensions produce higher production expenses together with performance barriers. IDEC Corporation responds to tight spaces needs by releasing its new PE sensor product series with the SA1N subminiature photoelectric sensors constructed to support both space-efficient operations and tight installation requirements.
Introducing the SA1N Subminiature Photoelectric Sensors
Which elements distinguish the SA1N sensors above other products? The advanced sensor devices measure just 3 cm from end to end while staying among the smallest units for sale today. Small dimensions do not affect operational capacity of these devices.
Key features include:
The compact design of SA1N includes an internal amplifier which eliminates the need for additional external amplifier systems because installation becomes more straightforward.
The sensors feature a flexible 2-meter stainless steel fiber-type cable that surpasses traditional rigid cables of similar sensors.
The detection setup’s sensitivity can be adjusted by users through a control feature which allows users to adapt the system for different automation requirements.
These features establish SA1N sensors as prime options for precise installation and space-efficient automation scenarios.
Diverse Sensor Variants for Versatile Applications
IDEC has developed two different models of SA1N sensors which serve varied application scenarios.
- Barrel-Mount Style
- This detection unit operates through the infrared LED using a fiber-type diffuse-reflective system with infrared detection capabilities.
- Secured with an M6 nut through the mounting hole.
- Sensing range: 3 to 50mm.
- Block-Style Sensor
- Uses a convergent-reflective red LED.
- Detection range: 5 to 50mm.
The detection device can be fixed via two mounting holes which maintain a 14mm pitch.
The two variants provide PNP and NPN light-on configuration with ultra-fast response times reaching 0.5 milliseconds which provides immediate and dependable object detection.
Ideal for a Wide Range of Applications
Sensor performance success depends heavily on comprehending its performance specifications with accurate boundaries. The SA1N sensor provides industry-leading part precision detection and serves manufacturing sectors including:
The sensor detects products automatically during conveyor system operations while they move through the production machinery.
The SA1N detector combines with Bowl Feeders to manage small component alignment before their processing.
The SA1N sensors support automated machines by helping to position and check the position of assembled parts.
Successful efficiency requires the following points for maximum output.
The sensor needs stable environmental lighting to prevent disturbance of its operation.
The sensing environment requires no more than minimal levels of dust together with fog and debris.
The detecting objects must have the right surface reflectivity so the system achieves consistent performance.
The SA1N sensors present better automation efficiency when these factors receive proper attention and simultaneously decrease both operational errors and maintenance needs.
The key benefits that SA1N Sensors offer exceed those of traditional sensor models.
Using photoelectric sensors for automation requires selection based on how efficient the components are combined with durable construction and adaptable programming. A set of benefits enhances the SA1N sensors compared to standard models in the market.
These sensors achieve convenience in installation due to their small 3 cm length while fitting into small restrictive systems.
The stainless steel fiber-type cable improves system longevity while decreasing the chance that cables will be harmed in active operation.
System integration becomes simpler because the sensor includes an integrated amplifier which removes the necessity of external amplification modules.
Real-time detection performance reaches 0.5 milliseconds because of which manufacturing slowdowns are reduced during operations.
These sensors provide versatile mounting options which support both barrel-mount and block-style configurations as per the user requirements.
The advanced features of SA1N sensors place them as an optimal selection for contemporary automation systems which enhance business operational efficiency and decrease expenses.
The correct arrangement of sensors enables performance enhancement during system operations.
The following guidelines will help users reach maximum efficiency with SA1N sensors:
1. The sensor needs proper alignment with its detection subject to prevent receiving incorrect signals.
2. Regular sensor maintenance includes periodic cleaning of both the lens and cable connections which helps stop degradation of performance levels.
3. The sensor should operate inside stable surroundings with no exposure to strong vibrations or electrical disturbances.
4. A precise sensitivity adjustment must be made to fit the characteristics of object materials combined with their dimensions and reflective properties to achieve the best detection performance.
The SA1N sensors operate at peak levels with reliable performance when users follow these operating procedures which generate increased productivity alongside reduced downtime.
A Step Forward in Compact Automation Solutions
The demand for efficient smaller automation components keeps increasing as industries advance into the future. The IDEC SA1N subminiature photoelectric sensors excel in delivering exceptional accuracy together with their installation simplicity and adaptable design through their compact physical size.
The sensor’s amplifier combined with versatile cabling and quick response speed makes them essential devices for modern manufacturing facilities and automatic systems.
Process optimization and data collection in smart factories will heavily depend on sensors like the SA1N because smart factories have become increasingly common. These sensors represent a wise investment for companies trying to remain competitive because they offer fast aspect recognition along with precise sensitivity control and strong performance in industrial environments.
Businesses that want optimized automation processes at the same time as high performance should consider the SA1N series.
IDOEC offers innovative solutions for automation discovery through their modern portfolio today.
