FAQ
Q1: What is the TAKEX LD Series?
A: The LD Series consists of embedded amplifier photo sensors using a fine red semiconductor laser for long-range, precision, and small-object detection.
Q2: What sensing methods are available?
A: The lineup includes through-beam, polarized retroreflective, and variable-focus reflective sensing.
Q3: What is the maximum detecting distance?
A: LD-T20R, LD-T20RPN, and selected connector models provide a maximum through-beam detecting distance of 20 m.
Q4: What light source does the LD Series use?
A: Main models use a 650 nm red semiconductor laser, with Class 1 or Class 2 configurations depending on model.
Q5: What object size can LD-T20R detect?
A: The standard target for LD-T20R is an opaque object with a diameter of Φ20 mm or larger.
Q6: What is the detecting distance of LD-M10R?
A: Detecting distance depends on the reflector. With the K-MT4 reflector, the detecting range is 1–7 m.
Q7: Can the laser spot of LD-S20R be adjusted?
A: Yes. LD-S20R provides an approximately 1 mm spot with a focusing range from 80 to 300 mm.
Q8: Can LD-S20R detect small marks?
A: Yes. At 300 mm, it can detect a 1 mm black mark on a white background under the specified conditions.
Q9: What is the response time of the LD Series?
A: Main models including LD-T20R, LD-M10R, and LD-S20R provide a response time of 0.5 ms or less.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the LD Series?
A: Applications include chip detection on lead frames, tape-feeder lift detection, hybrid substrate positioning, weld-joint detection, rubber-cap presence detection, and rolled-paper positioning.
