Features of Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in

(1) High switching frequency

This capacitive sensor with teaching function has a high switching frequency of 100Hz. This feature enables it to respond quickly to changes in the detected object. On food packaging production lines or automated assembly lines, hundreds of products/parts may pass through the detection area of the sensor per minute. The high switching frequency of the Bedook sensor can accurately capture the position and status of each product and determine whether the parts are in place, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the assembly operation and improving the production efficiency of the entire production line.

(2) Wide working voltage range

The working voltage range is 10 – 30VDC (±10%). This wide voltage range design enables the sensor to adapt to different power supply environments. In some industrial sites, due to the large number of equipment, the power supply voltage may have certain fluctuations. Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in can work stably within the voltage range of 10 – 30V, avoiding the problems of sensor failure or inaccurate detection caused by voltage fluctuations, and reducing the complexity and cost of the system.

(3) Low power consumption

No-load current ≤ 15mA, load current ≤ 150mA. Low power consumption is an important feature of Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in. In today’s increasingly tense energy situation, low-power consumption devices can not only reduce operating costs but also conform to the concept of environmental protection and sustainable development. In some wireless sensor network applications powered by batteries, such as in warehouse inventory monitoring systems, sensors need to work for a long time. The low power consumption of the Bedook sensor can greatly extend the battery life, reduce the frequency of battery replacement, thereby reducing maintenance costs and workload.

(4) High repeatability accuracy

Repeatability accuracy ≤ (±5.0%), and switch protection includes short circuit protection, polarity protection, and overload protection. High-precision detection results are the key to ensuring production quality and system reliability. In the manufacturing process of electronic components, high-precision sensors are required for the detection of parameters such as the size and position of components. The high repeatability accuracy of the Bedook sensor can ensure the consistency of each detection result, thereby ensuring the stability of product quality.

(5) Self-learning function

This is the most distinctive feature of Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in. Through the self-learning function, the sensor can automatically adapt to different detection objects and environments. In the material sorting system, when the material, shape or size of the sorting object changes, the sensor can re-adjust the detection parameters through the self-learning function to accurately identify and sort different materials.

In industrial production, the material and shape of materials may change. For example, in automotive parts manufacturing factories or in the fields of logistics and warehousing, products of different batches may differ in material or shape. The self-learning function of Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in allows it to adjust the detection parameters in the face of these changes. When new parts enter the production line, the sensor can quickly adapt to its capacitive characteristics through self-learning, accurately detect the position, quantity and other information of the parts, ensure the continuity and accuracy of production, and avoid production delays caused by replacing or recalibrating the sensor.

(6) Multiple output indications and environmental adaptability

The action indicator lights have multiple indication methods such as green (normally open), yellow (normally closed), and output, which can visually display the working status of the sensor. During equipment debugging and daily operation, operators can quickly judge whether the sensor is working normally and the situation of the detected object by observing the status of the indicator light.

The environmental temperature range is – 25 – 70°C, and the protection level is IP67. This wide temperature range and high protection level enable the sensor to work normally, continuously and reliably under harsh working conditions such as high temperature, low temperature, much dust and high humidity.

Advantages of Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in compared with ordinary sensors

(1) More advanced detection principle

Most ordinary sensors adopt relatively single detection principles. For example, inductive sensors have a good detection effect on metal objects, but their detection ability for non-metal objects is limited. While Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in detects based on the principle of capacitance change and can detect a variety of materials, including plastics, liquids, wood, etc.

(2) Superior performance

Ordinary sensors often have certain limitations in detection accuracy, response speed and stability. For example, some low-cost ordinary photoelectric sensors may have misjudgment phenomena in strong light environments, and their detection accuracy will also be affected by the environmental temperature and humidity. In contrast, the characteristics such as high accuracy, high switching frequency and wide working voltage range of Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in enable it to maintain stable and accurate detection performance in various complex environments.

(3) Strong environmental adaptability

The working ability of ordinary sensors in harsh environments is often weak. For example, in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, some ordinary proximity sensors may experience performance degradation or even damage. While Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in can work normally in the wide temperature range of – 25 – 70°C and high humidity environments, and its IP67 protection level enables it to resist the invasion of dust and water.

(4) Self-learning advantage

Ordinary sensors usually do not have a self-learning function, and their detection parameters are fixed at the factory. In practical applications, if the detection object or environment changes, ordinary sensors cannot automatically adjust the detection strategy and often require manual recalibration or sensor replacement.

The self-learning function of Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in gives it a high degree of intelligence. In intelligent logistics warehouses, when the types and stacking methods of goods in the warehouse change, the sensor can automatically identify the new characteristics of the goods through the self-learning function, optimize the detection algorithm, accurately detect the position and quantity of the goods, and realize intelligent warehouse management. This intelligent self-learning ability not only improves the use efficiency of the sensor but also reduces the labor maintenance cost.

Application fields of Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in

On the automotive parts production line, Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in can be used to detect the position and posture of various parts. For example, during the processing of engine blocks, the sensor can detect the position of the blocks on the conveyor belt to ensure that they accurately enter the processing station. Since the material of engine blocks is mostly metal and their surfaces may have oil stains and other conditions, the capacitance detection principle of the Bedook sensor is not affected by these factors and can accurately detect the presence of the blocks. At the same time, its high switching frequency can meet the high-speed operation requirements of the production line and ensure that each block can be detected in time.
Part positioning during assembly

In the assembly process of electronic products, such as the assembly of mobile phone mainboards, precise positioning of tiny electronic components is required. Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in can adapt to electronic components of different shapes and materials through the self-learning function and accurately detect whether the components are in place. For example, for small components such as capacitors and resistors on the mobile phone mainboard, the sensor can ensure the correct installation position of the components and improve the assembly quality and efficiency by utilizing its high precision and stability in a complex electromagnetic environment.

Automated packaging systems

In the automated packaging systems of industries such as food and medicine, sensors need to detect the status of packaging materials and products. Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in can detect plastic packaging, carton packaging and the products in the packaging.

Its self-learning function can enable the sensor to still accurately sort when facing the packaging differences of packages from different express companies, improving the sorting efficiency of logistics.

Inventory monitoring in warehousing

In the warehousing system, sensors can be used to monitor the quantity and position of inventory goods. For some liquid goods, such as barrel-packed liquid in chemical raw material warehouses, Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in can monitor the liquid level by detecting the capacitance change between the container wall and the liquid to prevent the liquid from overflowing. At the same time, for solid goods in the warehouse, the sensor can detect the stacking situation of goods on the shelves. When the quantity of goods reduces to a certain extent, a replenishment signal is sent out in time to realize intelligent inventory management.

Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in occupies an important position in today’s sensor market with its advanced self-learning ability, excellent measurement accuracy, significant advantages over ordinary sensors, and wide range of application fields. Whether on the high-speed production lines of industrial automation or in the precise sorting process of intelligent logistics, Bedook Proximity Switch with TEACH-in has demonstrated excellent performance and reliability.
