Glass or Transparent Object Detection

ASG Series

Reliably detects inclined transparent glass
Ideal for flush-mounting in robot end-effecter.
Unique optical system allows stable detection regardless of warpage or inclination of glass
Unprecedented reliability in inclined object detection is realized by the use of two red LED light sources
Thin (4mm) embedded amplifier photo sensor
Counterbores for M3 countersunk screws convenient for flush-mounting in robot end-effecter.

ASG-S20R is a diffuse reflective type sensor with a wide activation range.
If the detected glass is warped, the detecting distance can be 25 mm at maximum.
ASG-Z15R is a convergent reflective sensor with a wide activation range.
If the glass to detect is warped, the detecting distance can be 18 mm at maximum.
The sensor is not activated by transparent glass in contact with the sensor.
