Built for Demanding EnvironmentsProtected by an IP67 rating, the LX-111 Color Mark Sensor is resistant to dust and immersion in water. This makes it an excellent choice for industries where cleanliness, durability, and environmental resilience are critical, such as food processing or pharmaceuticals manufacturing.
Simple Setup and OperationThe LX-111 features a straightforward cable connection method (2 meters in length) and offers flexibility with both NPN and PNP open-collector outputs. Its compact dimensions (20 x 70 x 10 mm) allow for easy integration into existing systems without requiring significant space adjustments.
FAQs of Panasonic LX-111 Color Mark Sensor:
Q: How do I install the Panasonic LX-111 Color Mark Sensor?
A: To install the LX-111, securely mount the sensor at a distance of 15 mm (allowing a 4 mm margin) from the surface you wish to monitor. Connect its 2-meter cable to your systems input, choosing either the NPN or PNP open-collector output based on your wiring requirements. Ensure the operating environment is between -10C and +55C without condensation or icing.
Q: What applications benefit most from the LX-111 Color Mark Sensor?
A: This sensor is ideal for applications that require precise color mark detection, such as packaging, printing, labeling, and textile industries. Its sharp accuracy and fast response allow it to excel in high-speed automated processes where exact positioning or register marking is critical.
Q: When should I use the NPN or PNP output options?
A: Select the NPN output if your system input is designed for sinking input signals; choose PNP when your input is sourcing. This flexibility allows seamless integration with a variety of PLCs and controllers commonly used in industrial automation.
Q: Where is the LX-111 suitable for use?
A: With its IP67 protection rating, the LX-111 can be confidently installed in environments exposed to dust or temporary water immersion, such as food processing facilities, bottling plants, or any setting requiring robust, sealed sensors.
Q: What is the process for adjusting the LX-111 for optimal performance?
A: Position the sensor at the recommended 15 mm sensing distance and adjust the alignment to face the target color mark directly. Power the sensor with 12 to 24V DC (10%) and fine-tune settings as per your systems requirements to ensure accurate detection. Avoid environments prone to condensation or icing.
Q: How does the LX-111 enhance operational efficiency?
A: The fast 50s response time enables immediate detection and reliable feedback, reducing processing latency. Its high accuracy minimizes errors, resulting in less material wastage and increased throughput on production lines.
Q: What precautions should be taken for long-term reliability?
A: Ensure the LX-111 operates within the specified temperatures (-10C to +55C) and is not exposed to condensation or icing. Maintain the IP67 seal to prevent ingress of contaminants, and periodically check wiring connections for wear or looseness.
