R55 Expert™ Color Mark Sensors

Color Registration Mark Sensor with Solid-State Light Source

Printed in USA 12/06 P/N 59574 rev. B

Features

• Outstanding color contrast sensitivity; detects 16 levels of gray scale.

• Reliable detection of the toughest color mark contrasts, including 20% yellow

against white

• Three sensing beam colors: blue, green and white, depending on model

• Fast, 50-microsecond response

• Easy-to-set automatic

Expert-style configuration options: Static and Dynamic TEACH

and Window SET, plus Manual Adjust for fine tuning via push button or remote input

• Non-volatile memory

• Ten-element light bar for clear display of received signal strength

• Fixed-convergent sensing at 10 ±3 mm (0.39" ±0.12")

• Rectangular 1.2 mm x 3.8 mm (0.05" x 0.15") sensing image at 10 mm from the lens

• Horizontal or vertical sensing image, depending on model (see table below)

• Rugged zinc alloy die-cast housing with high-quality acrylic lens suitable for food

processing applications; rated IP67, NEMA 6

• Bipolar (NPN/PNP) discrete outputs with three delay settings (0, 20 or 40 ms)

• 0 to 10 mA analog output; value provides an indication of signal strength.

• Integral cable or QD connector, depending on model

Models

* 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of the cabled version (e.g., R55ECG1 W/30). A model with a QD

connector requires an accessory mating cable. See page 12.

R55 Expert™ Color Mark Sensors Overview R55 Expert (R55E) offers maintenance-free, solid-state reliability for all color contrasts found in common product and material registration applications. Fast 50-microsecond sensing response produces excellent registration repeatability, even in ultra-high-speed applications. This fast response, coupled with the small 1.2 x 3.8 mm (0.05" x 0.15") sensing image, allows color marks to be made small and inconspicuous, while being reliably sensed.

R55 Expert™ Color Mark Sensors Sensor Configuration Sensor configuration is accomplished via TEACH, SET and SETUP modes. After the sensing parameters are defined (using either TEACH or SET mode), SETUP mode may be used to enable the delay or to change the light/dark operate status. Manual Adjust may be used to fine-tune the thresholds (see page 7). Two push buttons, Dynamic (+) and Static (-), or the remote wire, may be used to access and set the sensing parameters.

R55 Expert™ Color Mark Sensors Installation Notes Cap Lens Location The lens of the R55E may be installed at either of two lens ports (see Figure 6). The lens and the lens port cap are both threaded and may be exchanged by hand; no tools are required. The lens and cap both include an o-ring seal. Lens 10 ± 3 mm NOTE: Lens port cap must be installed for reliable operation.
