Overview
The PVA Series Parts Verification Array is a simple, easy-to-use light screen suited to many part assembly and object detection applica-
tions.
The PVA has two components: an emitter and a receiver. The receiver's solid-state output interfaces to a system controller, which is pre-
programmed by a supervisor for a specific sequence of tasks. Mounted so that the beams stretch across each bin in an assembler’s work
station, the PVA then signals the assembler (by means of easy-to-see job lights) which bins contain items to be picked in a given opera-
tion and in what order they should be picked.
As the assembler reaches into each bin, the system senses if the correct part has been taken, then signals the next bin in the sequence.
The system may be wired to signal an alarm for the assembler and/or a supervisor in the event an incorrect part is selected.
The major benefit of a PVA-driven system is increased efficiency, due to simplified job training, increased quality control (no skipped
components), and reduced rework and inspections. The PVA speeds the resumption of work after breaks and other distractions. And it is
ideal for multilingual workplaces where communication may be an issue.

Only cabled models (2 m (6.5 ft) unterminated integral cable) are listed. For 2 m (6.5 ft) pigtail with Euro-style Quick-disconnect fitting, add "Q" to the model number (for example,
PVA100N6Q).
