R 58 Mark Sensor

About R 58 Mark Sensor

General Description of the R 58 Mark Sensor:

Heres a typical overview based on industry standards (note: specifics may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer):

1. Purpose:

• Detects registration marks or color contrasts on packaging materials.

• Ensures proper alignment and timing in cutting, labeling, or filling processes.

2. Key Features:

• High contrast sensitivity Able to distinguish between slight differences in color or grayscale.

• Fast response time Essential for high-speed production lines.

• Adjustable sensitivity and threshold Manual or auto-teach functions to optimize detection accuracy.

• LED or Laser light source Provides consistent, sharp detection.

• Compact housing Fits into tight spaces in machinery.

3. Common Specifications:

• Sensing distance: Typically a few millimeters (e.g., 1015 mm).

• Light source: Red LED (commonly), sometimes green or blue for better color differentiation.

• Response time: <50 microseconds in many models.

• Output types: NPN/PNP transistor output, often with normally open/closed options.

• Power supply: 1030 VDC.

4. Applications:

• Label positioning in labeling machines.

• Cutting position control in packaging lines.

• Print mark detection in printing machines.

• Web guiding in roll-fed systems.

5. Common Manufacturers:

• Banner Engineering Often uses the "R58" naming for high-performance registration mark sensors.

• Other companies might use similar nomenclature but refer to slightly different models.

Precise and Versatile Mark Detection

The R 58 Mark Sensor offers high sensitivity and accuracy, making it ideal for fast-paced environments where distinguishing color or contrast marks is essential. Its robust design ensures optimal performance across a detection distance of 10 to 15 mm, and easy manual adjustment guarantees adaptability to diverse task requirements.


Rugged Construction for Industrial Use

Encased in ABS plastic with an IP65 rating, the sensor resists dust and water ingress, ensuring long-term operation in challenging conditions. Its lightweight build and compact dimensions (70 x 15 x 30 mm) make it suitable for panel or bracket mounting in tight spaces.


Flexible Integration and Operation

The R 58 supports both PNP, NPN, and relay outputs for seamless integration with PLCs, controllers, or standalone systems. It operates in a broad temperature range and includes a 2-meter cable for convenient connectivity, fitting a wide spectrum of industrial automation setups.
