The LX-100 is the first sensor offering Mark mode and Color mode detection with a 4-digit digital display that enables numerical sensing control and minute settings. The Mark mode automatically selects a single color from the 3 R-G-B LED's to realize an ultra quick 45 micro sec response time. The automatic optimal LED selection function determines the most suitable LED for the largest contrast (S/N ratio) between the mark and base (non-mark area) to ensure optimal sensing. For more stable detection, the sensor makes selections according to the contrast and not according to the reflected light variation between the mark and the base. The Color mode on the LX-100 series utilizes all 3 R-G-B LED's to determine the RGB ratio of the mark sensor. The built in 12-bit A/D converter enables high precision 1/4000-resolution judgements. This function enables effective detection of films with patterns around the area of the mark. The LX-100 comes in a compact design W57 xD24 x H38mm (W2.244 x D0.945 x H1.496in) offering a cable or M12 plug-in type connector. Six indicator lamps using MODE NAVI, a highly praised user interface originally developed for the FX-300 series, represent the sensor's basic operation. The User can check what mode the sensor is presently in with a glance rendering operation simple. With fully automatic, 1 or 2-level calibrations, teaching is as easy as pushing a button. External teachings are also possible by using an operation panel or touch screen for color mark sensors whose position with in the equipment is out of reach. Thus, the LX series is particularly ideal in the pharmaceutical and food packaging industries. It can also be used for various types of packing films such as transparent and aluminum evaporation film.
