SICK Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor

Overview

The AS30 array sensor operates on the proximity scanning principle. It detects even the slightest differences in grayscale values within the field-of-view. Positioning of, for example, a paper web based on the web edge or a contrast line is only one of many possible applications.

Widths, diameters, and gaps can also be detected. In reflector mode, the AS30 can even detect transparent materials.
