FAQ
Q1: What is the TAKEX US-U30AN?
A: The US-U30AN is an ultrasonic sensor designed to detect the edge position of films and sheets and provide a proportional analog position signal.
Q2: What is the detecting distance of the US-U30AN?
A: The detecting distance is fixed at 30 mm.
Q3: What is the position detection range?
A: The analog output range is ±4 mm from the sensing center.
Q4: What output does the US-U30AN provide?
A: It provides position-proportional analog output from 1 to 5 V within the specified position range.
Q5: Can the US-U30AN detect transparent film?
A: Yes. Ultrasonic sensing enables transparent film edge control without being affected by printed patterns.
Q6: Is detection affected by target color?
A: Detection is not affected by the color, surface stains, or printed patterns of the target.
Q7: What power supply does the US-U30AN require?
A: It operates from 12–24VDC ±10% with ripple of 10% or less.
Q8: Does the US-U30AN require a separate controller?
A: No separate controller is required for basic position detection because the sensor directly provides a 1–5 V position-proportional analog output.
Q9: What position indication does the sensor provide?
A: It has a five-step green LED output level indicator that changes according to the analog output voltage.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the US-U30AN?
A: Applications include transparent film meandering control, package film winding control, and other edge-position control systems using analog output.
