Banner Engineering’s PVS28 parts verification sensor offers a revolutionary solution for visual operator guidance in industrial automation. With adjustable sensing ranges, touchless activation, and intuitive color indicators, the PVS28 enhances efficiency and minimizes errors. It’s programmable and customizable, making it a versatile addition to any workplace. Banner Engineering continues to lead in industrial automation, delivering innovative solutions for a range of industries.
Leading industrial automation manufacturer, Banner Engineering, is proud to announce the latest addition to their innovative product line – the PVS28 parts verification sensor. This cutting-edge sensor is specifically designed to transform the way operators navigate picking, assembly, and fulfillment tasks, offering a combination of optical sensing and intuitive indication in a single device.
The PVS28 is a game-changing solution, offering maximum flexibility through its two adjustable sensing ranges. In diffuse mode, it can sense objects within a range of 20 mm to 500 mm, making it ideal for close-range applications. For tasks requiring a longer sensing range, the retroreflective mode empowers the PVS28 to detect objects up to an impressive 1000 mm when used with a reflector. This adaptability ensures that the sensor can be seamlessly integrated into various industrial applications.
One of the standout features of the PVS28 is its user-friendly design, which simplifies installation and operation. The sensor is equipped with a quick disconnect, and a 150 mm 5-pin M12 connector, ensuring straightforward installation, and saving valuable time on the factory floor. Additionally, the PVS28 offers three teachable modes – object mode, background mode, and window mode – for rapid programming through remote pulses. These modes are designed to streamline the teaching process, and visual feedback, including mode confirmation and signal strength, further enhances operator convenience.
Operators will appreciate the PVS28’s built-in indicator colors, which play a crucial role in guiding them through their tasks. Standard colors include green, yellow, and red, making it an ideal choice for picking and assembly applications. The green light signals to the operator which bin to pick from, while the yellow light automatically acknowledges the pick when a hand or object is detected. In cases where the wrong bin is chosen, a red light indicates the error. This intuitive color system enhances efficiency and minimizes errors, ensuring smooth workflow operations.
An important feature of the PVS28 is its touchless activation, which eliminates the risk of contamination and the need for physical force during operation. This not only enhances workplace hygiene but also significantly improves the speed and accuracy of picking tasks. Operators can focus on their work without concerns about touch-related issues, leading to more efficient and accurate operations.
The PVS28’s ability to offer multiple colors extends its utility further. Equipped with a discrete input and output, the sensor can be programmed using Banner’s free Pro Editor software. This software allows users to customize indicator colors and animations, as well as output logic, including delays. With Pro Editor, creating custom colors and animations is a breeze, which enhances status indication and operator guidance. The sensor can display up to a total of seven colors, ensuring unique identification of operators and statuses. Users can also choose from eight animations, such as intensity sweep, 50/50 flash, and chase, to tailor the sensor’s behavior to their specific needs.
