Detecting overlap of washers
Detecting double feeds of lead frames
GD-3 detects an overlap of small
components such as washers.
The high precision sensor head GD-10
does not miss double feeds of lead
frames even if they are very thin and
highly perforated.
Detecting double feeds of sheet metal
The long sensing range sensor head
GD-20 allows the object thickness to
be as much as 10 mm 0.394 in. Hence,
various objects can be detected.

Detecting double feeds of aluminum foils
GD-10 can detect double feeds of thin
aluminum foils which are several tens

Detecting missing tablet package in box
GD-20 can check if each box contains a given
number of aluminum tablet packages.
Since GD-20 has a sensing range of up to 70 mm
2.756 in, thick boxes can pass
through the sensor heads.

Seven LEDs indicate the sensing level
Suitable for flexible manufacturing
The optimum
sensing point can
be confirmed at a
glance as seven
LEDs indicate the
sensing level.
Since sensitivities of eight channels can be stored, product
changeover is smooth and easy.
Select channel number by the “Channel shift key” on the
operation panel or by using external channel select inputs.
Further, since GD-C2 is equipped with RS-232C
communication function, the sensitivity values can be
stored in a personal computer, etc., and fed into the
controller as per requirement.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
• Never use this product as a sensing device
for personnel protection.
• In case of using sensing devices for
personnel protection, use products which
meet laws and standards, such as OSHA,
ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection
applicable in each region or country.
• Make sure to use the sensor heads and
controllers in the specified combinations. If
they are used in any other combination, the
sensor heads may get damaged.
Mounting
Placing of sensor heads
• Make the sender and receiver face each other and align
their sensing center line.
• Keep a distance from any magnet or a device generating
magnetic field. It may degrade the detectability.
• Surrounding metal influences the detectability. Please
contact our office for more details.
• If more than one set of sensor heads are closely
mounted, detectability may be affected. Please contact
our office for more details.

• Do not operate the sensor for a few seconds immediately
after supplying power because of transient conditions
including self-diagnosis time.
• Make sure to check the ability of the sensor to detect
the number of sheets of your actual objects before use.
If real objects differ from teaching samples in size or
in characteristics, or the detecting condition deviates,
an error may occur. Please note that magnetic metals
or metals with low magnetic permeability such as steel
especially have a strong tendency.
• In situations when magnets are in close proximity such
as during electromagnet conveyance, this causes
malfunctions due to electromagnetic disorder.
• When conducting minute detections, favorable sensing
conditions are obtained only after having elapsed 60 min.
after the initial introduction of the power supply.
