FAQ
Q1: What is the TAKEX SSP-S200 Series?
A: The SSP-S200 Series consists of slim bin-picking sensors that can switch between retroreflective and diffuse reflective sensing.
Q2: What models are available?
A: The current lineup includes SSP-S204R, SSP-S208R, SSP-S204R-PJ, and SSP-S208R-PJ.
Q3: What is the retroreflective sensing range?
A: Retroreflective operation reaches up to 2 m, with the series lineup specifying a reflector setting range of 700–2,000 mm.
Q4: What is the diffuse reflective sensing range?
A: The range is 700 mm with 300 × 300 mm white drawing paper and 400 mm with an A4 18% reflectivity gray card.
Q5: What is the difference between SSP-S204R and SSP-S208R?
A: SSP-S204R has four optical axes and a 100 mm detecting width, while SSP-S208R has eight axes and a 225 mm detecting width.
Q6: What does the -PJ suffix mean?
A: -PJ models use a 0.3 m pigtail with an M12 connector, while standard models have a 2 m attached cable.
Q7: Are separate NPN and PNP models required?
A: No. NPN or PNP output is selectable by an internal switch, and normally open or normally closed operation is also selectable.
Q8: What are the JOB and FAULT indicators used for?
A: The large green JOB indicators identify the correct picking location, while the red FAULT indicator flashes to warn of an incorrect picking action.
Q9: Does SSP-S200 require manual sensitivity adjustment?
A: After the sensing method is selected and power is applied, the sensor performs automatic sensitivity initialization and also supports automatic re-initialization.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the SSP-S200 Series?
A: It is suited to parts racks, assembly lines, logistics picking, and pick-to-light systems for guiding operators and confirming correct parts selection.
