Tri-Tronics Stealth UV

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SMARTEYE® STEALTH-UV is a special purpose sensor designed to detect the presence of invisible fluorescent materials contained in special chalks, inks, paint, greases, glue, optical brightness found in labels, paper, tape, string, etc. The STEALTH-UV contains an ultraviolet (UV) solid state light source that is used to excite the luminescence in materials to fluoresce in the visible range. The sensor's detector then responds to the visible fluorescing light. When the received fluorescing light level as displayed on the Contrast Indicator reaches a level of "4" or above, the NPN and PNP output transistors will switch to the opposite state.

 

Typical STEALTH-UV Sensor Applications

  • Detection of clear tamperproof seals
  • Registration of UV adhesives on clear labels
  • Detection of invisible registration marks
  • Product orientation
  • Product Inspection/Verification

Smarteye® RetroSmart™

Tri-Tronics RetroSmart  detects clear and shiny objects

The RetroSmart™ retroreflective sensor is optimized to detect clear/translucent containers and shiny objects from the leading edge to the trailing edge without false signals. This is required when the sensing task involves monitoring conveyor lines for jam detection. The sensor's narrow, red light beam assures accuracy in detecting the leading edge of any product to trigger the response, such as filling, capping, labeling, and coding.

Industrial control functions require sensors that can provide dependable detection of position or presence of transparent containers. The RetroSmart™ provides a single, non-chattering output for each transparent container that passes by, independent of size, shape, empty, or full.

Imagine... just point the RetroSmart™ sensor's narrow, red light beam at the reflector and push the AUTOSET™ button one time. Now sit back and watch the sensor flawlessly detect any size PET bottle filled with water without worry about burn-through or double signals. When the efficiency of an entire production line depends on the performance of a photoelectric sensor, the RetroSmart™ is the clear choice.

Mini-Eye™: The Miniature Sensor

Tri-Tronics Miniature Waterproof Sensor

Mini-Eye™ is a full line of very economical, miniature photoelectric sensors designed to perform most sensing tasks from even the tightest locations. The rugged Mini-Eye™ sensors are waterproof and enclosed in high-impact plastic housings for use in hostile environments. They are also immune to indirect ambient light and strobes.

These versatile sensors are available in thru-beam, retroreflective and proximity models for performing object detection such as web break detection, counting, inspection, orientation...and much more!

Mini-Eye™ sensors offer a selection of either infrared (IR) or red LED light sources, and NPN or PNP output transistors. All models are available with quick disconnect or potted cables, and they can be operated in either the Light "ON" or Dark "ON" modes.

Features & Benefits:

  • Screwdriver adjustment
  • Sensors are available with either infrared (IR) or red LED light sources and NPN or PNP output transistors
  • Fixed Optics - Proximity, Retroreflective, Polarized Retroreflective, Thru-beam
  • Light “ON” or Dark “ON” selectable by wire
  • Immune to indirect ambient light and direct strobes
  • Waterproof with high-impact housing
