LD30 ToF Sensors takes production to new heights


Complete with IO-Link communication


encompassed in the same sensor; offering an unrivalled flexibility to detect any object, any colour, any material or surface types at a distance of up to 1000mm. The LD30 output can be operated either as a standard


C


switching output or in IO-Link mode and is fully configurable via IO-Link output, Electrical outputs can be configured as PNP/NPN/Push-pull/external input normally open or closed whilst the timer functions can be set as ON- delay, Off-delay and one shot or trailing edge with timing values from 1ms up to 32,767 min. Logging functions such as temperature, detecting


counter, power cycles and operating hours as well as single point, two point and windows mode, Logic functions such as AND, OR, XOR and Gated SR-FF all come as standard mode.

New generation of modular connectors from Stäubli cuts assembly and maintenance costs


D


esigned to cut assembly and maintenance costs to the minimum, the new CombiTac direqt family of modular connectors introduced


by Stäubli features a Click-and-Connect system that enables all parts to be quickly assembled manually without the use of any special tools. With a light, modern design incorporating the highest level of safety


features, they can be fully customised to meet customer requirements. Each carrier and frame is coded, eliminating any possibility of assembly error or incorrect polarity mating between male and female connectors.


All configurations, whether for panel mount or housing applications, ensure a constant and reliable connection


for signals, power and pneumatic coupling for up to 10 000 mating cycles. Throughout this life cycle, the quality of the contacts remains at the highest possible level, providing constant low contact resistance and stable performance even in the presence of shock and vibration.
