OMRON's Creative Lab | Reflective Sensors | B5W-DB & LB

The video highlights the features and applications of OMRON's B5W series sensors, including the B5W-DB and B5W-DLB models. The B5W-DB is noted for its compact size and ability to detect objects ideal for sanitary equipment and automatic doors. The B5W-DLB sensor excels in detecting objects with minimal influence from their color or material, suitable for use in beverage and drink equipment.

    00:00:06 hello everyone my name is Rolo product manager for sensors at rran electronic components today I'd like to discuss Ran's b5w Optical sensors there are two families within this series The b5w ddb diffuse reflective sensor and the b5w DLB light convergent reflective sensor first we we will take a look at the b5w ddb diffuse reflective sensor this is an ultra small size sensor which

    00:00:37 is capable of sensing objects up to 550 mm away the light diffused reflective sensor sets the emitting beam in parallel to the receiving path which does not limit the sensing area a new iteration of this series was recently released with a variable distance option when used with an external limiting resistor the sensing distance can be changed from 150 mm up

    00:01:02 to 550 mm depending on the resistor used additional features of the DB model include small package size which allows for flexibility in mounting location the ability to mount in four directions with M3 mounting screws and a modulated light system that is not easily affected by external light the diffuse reflective sensor can be used in various applications for hand

    00:01:29 detection in sanitary equipment like soap dispensers or sanitizer dispensers also automatic doorways in places like hospitals and elevators to help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria next we have the b5w DLB light convergent sensor this sensor is less susceptible to variations in color and material accurately detecting mirrored black or transparent

    00:01:55 objects the sensor has a limited sensing area and is effectively used when an object that should not be detected such as a background is behind the sensing object additionally when compare it to Common reflective sensors as shown here in the image the lb Series has stable sensing performance which means it can detect objects of various colors over a wide sensing

    00:02:22 range the b5w lb comes in two sizes to provide design flexibility a miniature type with a sensing distance of 10 to 55 mm and a super miniature type with a sensing distance of 2 to 10 mm these sensors shown here on the bottom have an illuminated indicator lamp which are a new addition to the series The lamps offer visual operating confirmation of the

    00:02:47 sensors some of the applications are shown here on this slide cup detection for coffee makers the sensor can provide stable detection of shiny black or transparent cups the wide sensing range allows for detection of different size objects and can be used in delivery boxes for package detection also printing equipment the sensor allows for detection of objects

    00:03:12 in motion such as printed paper to learn more about these sensors and other products that rron offer please visit our website at components. omron.com or you can reach me at roland. heso omron.com thank you for your time today and we'll see you in the next video
