① Light Convergent Reflective Sensor (B5W-LB)
Explanation
① Light Convergent Reflective Sensor (B5W-LB)
The sensor is less affected by color and material variations and can reliably detect mirror-finished, black, and transparent objects. By focusing LED light through a lens, the sensor achieves a small light spot for stable detection.
Application Example
■Application: Beverage Machines
Two sensors are used to distinguish between large and small cups inside a beverage machine.
The first sensor detects the presence of a cup, while the second sensor detects the height of the cup rim. When the upper sensor is ON, the cup is identified as a large cup.
When the upper sensor is OFF, the cup is identified as a small cup.
