OMRON has introduced Fiber Unit E32-LT35Z.

We have introduced Fiber Unit E32-LT35Z. Optical Axis Adjustment in 20 Sec and Ultra-high-power Beam Greatly Reduce Installation and Maintenance Work.
  • The Optimum Aperture Angle and Optical Axis Accuracy
    Enable Optical Axis Adjustment in 20 Sec Even for Minute 0402-size Workpieces
  • Built-in Mirror Lens
    Provides an Ultra-high-power Beam
The optimum aperture angle that obtains a sufficient incident level for stable detection without making precise adjustment combines with high-quality optical axis accuracy with an optical axis inclination variation of ±2.5° or less between individual products to enable optical axis adjustment that is much faster than for previous products. All Fiber Units are inspected with a special jig before they are shipped to enable reliable installation without variations between individual products.

Finding the horizontal head (Fiber Unit) offset in the incident light range for a specific incident level of 1,500 during installation shows just how much wider the range is for the E32-LT35Z in comparison with a previous product (E32-T15ZR). In comparison with the difficult optical axis adjustment of previous products, the optical axis of the E32-LT35Z can be roughly adjusted in a short period of time to obtain the incident level required for stable detection.

The offset between the optical axis and mechanical axis is within ±2.5°, so a sufficient incident level can be achieved merely by aligning the mechanical axis at installation.

A concave mirror lens (patent pending) produces a divergent beam that achieves both easy adjustment and light emission power. An ultra-high-power beam is provided that is approx. five times that of previous products with no lens. A sufficient incident level can be obtained for stable detection even if the optical axis is offset over a long period of usage and even if the emitter/receiver section becomes dirty. You can reduce the maintenance frequency in comparison with previous products.

OMRON highly recommends these new-standard Fiber Units with a Built-in Lens that provide stable detection with a high-power beam. You don’t have to worry about the lens falling off and getting lost.

SMT Connector Powers LEDs From Underside Of Board

Tyco has introduced the SMT thru-board connector, which supplies power from the underside of an FR4 or aluminium-clad PC board, eliminating issues of dressing wires on the top side of LED boards. The two-position through six-position connector surface mounts on top of the board, passing through the board to present an underside interface. The connector mates with standard Mini CT connectors. The inverted design allows simpler assembly and installation of solid-state LED lighting in architectural, residential and commercial applications. The Mini CT connector is rated for three amps per contact, on 24 AWG wire. A space-saving low-profile design and rounded corners minimise shadowing. The connector fits through a hole or notch in the board. High-temperature materials allow the connector to be reflow soldered, while a flat-top surface provides compatibility with vacuum pickup. The connector uses surface-mount hold-downs to provide stability during mating and unmating. With UL listing...

Electromechanical Relays (EMRs) vs. Solid State Relays Comparison (SSRs)

Image
Electromechanical Relays (EMR) Pros (Advantages) Lower initial cost compared to solid state relays. Provides complete electrical isolation. Tolerates high current & voltage transients. Insensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) / radio frequency interference (RFI). Higher open resistance (air gap). Lower closed resistance. Available with many poles/circuits (up to 8 or more). Many different circuit configurations available. Multiple packaging & feature options. Most typical failure mode is open. Electromechanical Relays (EMR) Cons (Disadvantages) Higher control (coil) power consumption. Contact arcing can cause pitting & eventual open/short failure. Contacts can be affected by corrosion, oxidation or contamination. Contact bounce possible due to shock & vibration. Generates electromagnetic interference (EMI) / radio frequency interference (RFI). Can be orientation sensitive. Can be affected by external magnetic fields. Subject to mechanic...
