BWC Series

Cross-Beam Area Sensors

The BWC cross-beam type area sensors utilize a 3-point cross-beam method detection to minimize non-detection area and provide reliable detection. 14 different configurations are available based on the number of optics, optical pitch, and detection area size. The sensors provide reliable detection even in areas with high ambient lighting, up to 100,000 lux. Also, the self-diagnosis output function minimizes detection error from dust or debris. The series also features various user-friendly functions including installation mode function, mutual interference prevention function, and self-diagnosis functions.

Emitter/Receiver Compatibility Notice for New and Older Models of BWC Series

With ambient illuminance limit of 100,000 lux, the sensors can minimize operation errors under direct sunlight.

High ambient illuminance limit (up to100,000lx) minimizes operation errors under direct sunlight and strong incandescent light.

Up to 100,000lx

Self-Diagnosis Output Function

The self-diagnosis output function allows users to check sensing screen contamination and blocking of optical axis from dust or debris can be checked from status indicators. The output can also be transmitted to an external device, allowing users to check the status from other locations.

Self-Diagnosis Output Function

3-Point Cross-Beam Detection Minimizes Non-Detection Area

3-Point cross-beam detection method minimizes non-detection area for tight sensing coverage area.

Applications

  • Platform Screen Doors (PSD)

    Area sensors installed on platform screen doors (PSDs) to detect presence of passengers.

  • Potato chip manufacturing and packaging process

    This is an application example of potato chip manufacturing and packaging process using Autonics products.

  • Elevator Door Operation

    5-point cross-beam type elevator sensors are used to detect people or objects entering or leaving the elevator and accordingly control the opening and closing of elevator doors.

  • Transfer of Packaged Goods

    Cross-beam area sensors are used to inspect the filling level of potato chips in the bags during transport process.
