Description
Reliable
detection of clear materials
such as glass and plastic bottles or
films is one of the most challenging
applications for a photoelectric sensor
to handle. The three biggest challenges
to the sensor are contrast, shape
variations, and wet environments. All
three of these challenges are adressed
with the Rockwell Automation/
Allen-Bradley ClearSight photoelectric
sensor.
Using coaxial optics and circular
polarization, ClearSight maximizes the
contrast achievable with clear objects,
increasing reliablity and improving
productivity
. Because bottles are rarely
uniform inshape, their ability to pass
light is also less than unit form. For
instance, variations due to molding and
warping can cause certain parts of the
clear material to act as a lens,
increasing the amount of light going
through it instead of reducing it—
resulting in false signals. ClearSight
technology helps reduce these false
signals from occurring by requiring the
emitted and returned beam to be along
the same axis.
When your application is set in a wet
environment, the reliability of
photoelectric sensors with conventional
side-by-side optical arrangements is
very unpredictable. ClearSight
photoelectric sensors increase this
reliability allowing for water splash or
mist to actually collect on the lens,
bottle, or reflector
.
ClearSight photoelectric sensors are
available in three basic models to fit
your specific application requirements.
For harsh bottling applications where
large amounts of water splash or mist
are present, the Series ClearSight
10,000 is the superior solution. The
Control W
atch feature of this version will
automatically adjust sensitivity levels to
compensate for changing
environmental conditions. When the
application is not as severe, ClearSight
9000 stands ready to meet the
challenge. For general purpose clear
object detection, the ClearSight 7000
provides an economical solution.

Operation
ClearSight 10,000 and 9000 use a
coaxial optic design to maximize signal
contrast required for clear object
detection applications.
As seen in the
illustration below
, the light emitted by
the LED is reflected at 90
_
to a beam
splitter
, which directs the visible red
beam towards the reflector
. The
returned light travels in the opposite
direction along the same axis through
the beam splitter to the photodiode
detector
. One of the benefits of using
this approach lies in the fact that both
the emitting and receiving beams are
subject to the same optical ef
fects,
thereby
, reducing false signals which
result in typical side-by-side optical
systems.
ClearSight 10,000 complements this
optical design by including an automatic
sensitivity adjustment called Control
Watch
. This feature will automatically
adjust the sensitivity levels to
accommodate for splashing liquids and
mist. The accurate display of sensor
margin values is made possible with the
MarginV
iew
feature. When the margin
drops to an unacceptable level, a visual
indication, Red LED, and an electrical
output, diagnostic, are activated.
T
o speed up installation time, the
sensor is self-teach. An LCD display
and pushbuttons makes it easy to
configure any other desired parameters
required for the application. These
include response time, pulse rates,
hysteresis, ON/OFF and ONE-SHOT
time delays, and light/dark operate
modes. Once these parameters are
configured they may be stored and
retrieved for use at a later time.
ClearSight 10,000 is also capable of
optically transferring this configuration
data to other ClearSight 10,000
sensors.
An autojitter crosstalk avoidance
feature allows up to 16 sensors to be
installed in close proximity without
crosstalk.
For applications of lesser severity
,
ClearSight 9000 and 7000 provide quite
capable solutions at an af
fordable price.
