The Line Beam Mapping Sensor for Industrial automation
The Autonics BWML series line beam mapping sensors are optimized for glass substrate detection by using location image mapping method to minimize non-detection area and influence from harsh external conditions. The sensors support CC-Link and EtherCAT communication protocols and feature channel editing function which allows users to change pixels or edit sensing channel area with a connected PC. IP67 protection structure allows stable and error-free operation even in wet or dusty environments. The line beam mapping sensors can be used to detect display panels on transport cassettes.

Line Beam Sensing Method for Stable Glass Substrate Detection
The diffuse reflective line beam method with location image mapping minimizes non-detection area and influence from harsh external conditions. This sensing method allows stable detection of ultra-thin glass substrates.
Background Sensing Mode, Installation Instruction Mode and Auto Teaching Function
The installation instruction mode allows users to check if the detection target object is in proper position using the output indicators. The auto teaching function allows all sensing channels to be set in uniform light amount for optimal sensitivity setting.
Sensing Level Setting to Minimize Influence from Bent Glass or Scattered Reflections
The sensing level setting allows optimal sensing with minimal influence from bent glass or scattered reflections. The sensing level can be set between 1 to 5 sensitivity levels for stable detection in various environment settings. If the mapping sensor or cassettes are bent, sensitivity adjustments can be made without removing the glass substrates.
CC-Link, EtherCAT Communication Protocol Support
The units offer support for CC-Link or EtherCAT communication support and also offer options for connector type connection or terminal type connection.
Expanded User Convenience
Various functions and settings available for user convenience on installation or operation.
Channel Interference and External Light Alarm Function
When a sensing channel is interfered by another glass substrate or the receiver receives external light besides the light from the emitter, the status indicator and the channel indicator will blink respectively. This will start the alarm output allowing stable and error-free operation.
Check Operation Status with Bright Indicators
The bright indicators allow users to easily check operation and communication status even from long distances.
