ABOUT LUMINESCECE SENSORS

Luminescence sensors offer unparalleled power; luminescence sensors are able to to handle more advanced applications than standard photoelectric proximity sensors. In the case of a registration mark on an irregular background, such as grained wood, that can't be read reliably, a luminescence sensor may help. The sensitivity of the device can be set with a potentiometer to allow optimum adjustment to the florescent material. The background that the florescent material is applied to doesn't affect the level of detection reliability.

The LUT series reacts only to luminescent materials activated by the UV light source in the sensor. Luminescent pigments can be added to the target or can be added to the target or can be applied in the form of colored marks with florescent chalk or paint. Since these markings can also be invisible, they can be used as control marks on goods for proof of authenticity, without spoiling the appearance of the finished product.
