Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Web Interface • 135
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
available:
o
Sequential: Continuously
generates back-to-back fixed
length surfaces.
o
External Input: A pulse on the
digital input triggers the
generation of a single surface of
fixed length.
For more information on
connecting external input to a
Gocator sensor, see Digital Input on
page 621.
You can optionally enable part
detection to process the surface
after it has been generated, but the
generation itself does not depend
on the detection logic. To do this,
check Enabled in the Part
Detection panel.
