The types in the table below correspond to the Type setting in the panel.
When Type is set to Continuous, part detection is automatically enabled. When Type is set to
any of the other settings, part detection can be enabled and disabled in the Part Detection
panel. For descriptions of the settings that control part detection logic, Part Detection on page
153.
Continuous: The sensor
continuously generates surfaces of
parts that are detected under the
sensor. This type is typically used
when the transport system
continuously feeds material or
parts under a sensor. The materials
have a distinguishable start and
stop edge.
Fixed Length: The sensor
generates surfaces of a fixed length
(in mm) using the value in the
Length setting. Like Continuous
mode, Fixed Length mode is used
when material or parts
continuously pass under the
sensor. Unlike Continuous mode,
parts/material do not have
distinguishable start and stop edge.
For correct length measurement,
you should ensure that motion is
calibrated (that is, encoder
resolution for encoder triggers or
travel speed time triggers).
Two types of start triggers are
