Product Specification

SMARTEYE Stealth-UV Analog/Digital Luminescence Sensor Description
The SMARTEYE ® Stealth-UV Analog/Digital Sensor is a special-purpose sensor designed to detect the presence of invisible UV fluorescent materials contained in special chalk, ink, paint, grease, glue, and optical brighteners found in labels, paper, tape, string, etc. The sensor contains an ultraviolet (UV) solid-state light source that is used to excite the luminescent materials to fluoresce in the visible range.

The Analog Output is 4-20mA as the standard factory default configuration. The sensor can also be ordered with a 0-5 or a 0-10 VDC output. This provides flexibility when interfacing to different machine input requirements.

SMARTEYE Stealth-UV Analog/Digital Luminescence Sensor Features
• The widest selection of UV sensors in the world
• Analog and Digital outputs in one sensor:
Digital: NPN and PNP
Analog: 4-20mA, 0-5VDC or 0-10VDC
• Four easy AUTOSET modes
Light State
Dark State
Mid-Point
Two-Point
• The only standard fiber optic Luminescence sensor available in the industry
• Longest range, up to 24 inches
• Immune to most ambient light, including direct sunlight
• Contrast Indicator for "at-a-glance" performance data

SMARTEYE Stealth-UV Analog/Digital Luminescence Sensor Benefits
• One sensor fits all - both analog and digital outputs
• Three standard output configurations for multiple machine interfaces
• Four AUTOSET modes for maximum sensing flexibility and sensitivity
• Minimize inventory requirements
• Easy to use

SMARTEYE Stealth-UV Analog/Digital Luminescence Sensor Applications
• Product inspection & verification
• Amount of glue/adhesives on paper, plastics, envelopes and transparent materials
• Detection and verification of invisible registration marks for printing, cutting, positioning
• Continuous web splice detection
• Detecting and measuring marks (chalk) for grading or sorting such as lumber/wood, and tile products
• Verifying the presence/amount of lubricants such as oil, grease or identifying oil leaks
• Seeing UV threads in carpets for cutting or positioning
• Triggering on inkjet printed marks for product identification or inserting
• Detection of cellophane tape on cardboard cartons or boxes
• Detection & verification of cap liners for quality assurance & control
