Specification notes
Q1: What is the TAKEX SSC-T800 Series?
A: The SSC-T800 Series consists of through-beam light curtains using sequential array scanning to create a dense detection area for small, thin, and irregular objects.
Q2: How many current models are available?
A: The current lineup contains 18 models consisting of nine sensing configurations with NPN and PNP output versions.
Q3: What is the maximum detecting distance?
A: SSC-T830, SSC-T835, and their PNP versions provide a maximum detecting distance of 2.5 m.
Q4: What is the smallest detectable object?
A: SSC-T801 and SSC-T801PN detect opaque objects Φ6 mm or larger.
Q5: What beam intervals are available?
A: The lineup provides 5.55, 11, 12.5, 16.6, and 20 mm beam intervals.
Q6: Are NPN and PNP outputs available?
A: Yes. Standard models provide NPN open-collector output, while PN-suffix models provide PNP output.
Q7: How does sequential array scanning differ from a conventional light curtain?
A: Instead of relying only on corresponding parallel emitter/receiver axes, sequential scanning forms a dense cross-beam sensing net that improves detection of small and thin objects.
Q8: Does the SSC-T800 require a synchronization line?
A: No. The series does not require a separate clock or synchronization wire, simplifying installation wiring.
Q9: What is the protection rating?
A: The complete series provides IP67 protection with a robust aluminum housing.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the SSC-T800 Series?
A: Applications include robot-hand detection, coils, thin plates, irregular falling workpieces, automotive engine covers, and container detection before packaging.
