ASG SERIES
Embedded Amplifier Photo Sensors for Glass detection

- Reliably detects inclined transparent glass Ideal for flush-mounting in robot end-effecter.
- Unique optical system allows stable detection regardless of warpage or inclination of glass Unprecedented reliability in inclined object detection is realized by the use of two red LED light sources
- Thin (4mm) embedded amplifier photo sensor Counterbores for M3 countersunk screws convenient for flush-mounting in robot end-effecter.
