Capable of detecting 0.2 mm thick sheets at rates up to 600,000 pieces/hr, SCATEC-2 Long Range Photoelectric Sensor is designed for non-contact counting of overlapped paper sheets, newspapers, and flat objects conveyed in lap or shingle stream, regardless of direction of travel. Measuring range is 0-120 mm with object speed of 0-2 m/s for edges greater than 0.3 mm and 0-1 m/s for edges greater then 0.2 mm. Available with M12 connector, sensor can also be adjusted using DIP switch.

Detects 0.2 mm Thick Sheets at Rates up to 600,000 Pieces per Hour
Southington, Conn. - September 29, 2008 - Baumer Ltd. has expanded the SCATEC sensor family to include the SCATEC-2 Long Range Photoelectric Sensor. SCATEC sensors are specifically designed for non-contact counting of overlapped paper sheets, newspapers and other flat objects conveyed in a lap or shingle stream, regardless of the direction of travel. The SCATEC-2 Long Range Photoelectric Sensor offers a longer sensing range for increased mounting flexibility.
Using laser optics and a unique internal algorithm, the SCATEC-2 counter detects sheets down to 0.2 mm thick at a rate up to 600,000 pieces per hour regardless of color or finish. The sensor's measuring range is 0 to 120 mm with an object speed of 0 to 2 m/s for edges greater than 0.3 mm and 0 to 1 m/s for edges greater then 0.2 mm. Available with an industry standard M12 connector, the sensor is adjustable using a simple DIP switch or via the new ScaDiag SCATEC Diagnostic Software.
The SCATEC-2 is easy to mount parallel to the conveyor stream and can detect with either the folded or cut edge leading. All SCATEC-2 sensors are insensitive to the changing color or reflectivity of printed materials. A visible red laser beam allows for easy alignment.
