Diffuse Scan

This Diffuse Reflection Sensor by Wadia Electronic Enterprise is designed for detecting reflective, translucent, or irregular surfaces at close range. Unlike through-beam sensors, it works by emitting light and measuring the reflection directly from the target, making it ideal for applications like bottling lines, quality control, and object recognition.

Typical Applications:

  • Bottling/Packaging Lines – Detecting glass/plastic bottles, caps, or labels.

  • Quality Control – Identifying surface defects or missing labels.

  • Material Handling – Sensing presence/absence of objects on conveyors.

  • Printing & Labeling Machines – Verifying correct label placement.

  • Automated Assembly – Detecting small parts with varying reflectivity.

Key Specifications:

  • Sensor Type: Diffuse Reflective (Proximity Mode)

  • Material: Mild Steel (Durable for industrial use)

  • Sensing Distance: 100mm (Short-range detection)

  • Switch Type: Photoelectric (Non-contact sensing)

  • Model: PNP NC (Normally Closed, Positive Logic)

  • Cable Length: 4m (Flexible installation)

  • Power Supply: 25V DC (Low-voltage operation)

  • Max Load Current: 300mA

  • Size: M18 (Compact threaded housing)

  • Frequency: 50Hz

  • Power Source: Electric

Key Advantages:

✔ Detects Reflective & Translucent Objects – Ideal for glass, transparent bottles, or shiny surfaces.
✔ Surface Recognition – Can identify different materials based on reflectivity (e.g., label detection).
✔ Background Suppression – Ignores highly reflective surfaces beyond the set scanning distance.
✔ Compact & Robust – M18 size fits in tight spaces; mild steel housing for durability.
✔ Easy Integration – PNP NC output for compatibility with PLCs and control systems.
