Answer

Explore sensor application examples for detecting the presence or absence of caps and lids. Refer to product features and application examples to help solve sensing challenges and select the right sensor for your application.

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: Analytical Instruments

Two sensors are used to detect the presence or absence of both the test tube and its cap.
The first sensor detects the presence of the test tube, while the second sensor determines whether the test tube cap is present.
When the cap is present, the sensor detects the target; when the cap is absent, the sensor does not detect it, enabling reliable cap presence inspection.
