Image schematic
The sensor utilizes all 3 RGB LEDs to convert the
reflective light into an RGB ratio. Only the color of
the mark indicated by teaching is accurately
detected.
The sensor automatically selects the most suitable
light source color from the 3 RGB LEDs offering
the largest contrast between the mark and base
(non-mark area). The sensor effectuates ultra quick
mark detection with a 45 !s response time.

A resolution of 1/4000 is realized to
enable high precision mark sensing.

Various functions to ensure the best mark sensing.
Sensing modes can be selected depending on the application.
Mark mode
Automatic optimal LED selection function
The 3 colors of the R•G•B LEDs are optimally selected according to the color combination. With the LX-100’s Mark mode, the built-in
‘Automatic optimal LED selection function’automatically selects the LED for the largest contrast (S / N ratio) between the mark and base (non-
mark area) to ensure optimal sensing. For more stable detection, the sensor makes selection according to the contrast and not according to
the reflected light variation between the mark and base (non-mark area).
With mark sensing, the larger the received light
variation is, the easier sensing becomes. Also, the
higher the received light ratio (contrast) is, the
more sensing is stabilized. The example on the
right deals with reflected light on packing film.
Great figures are indicated for the blue LED’s light
amount ratio and, for even more stable sensing, the
blue LED effectuates this mark sensing.
The LX-100 series sensors automatically selects
the optimal LED that will ensure the most stable
sensing results.

Has a built-in ‘Mark mode’ that realizes a ultra quick 45 ¨s response time as well as a ‘Color mode’
offering the best mark color discrimination capacity. Use either of these modes as per the application.
This sensing mode automatically selects a single
color from the 3 R•G•B LEDs to realize an ultra
quick 45 !s response time. The automatic optimal
LED selection function automatically selects the LED
that is most suitable for the sensing. This function is
perfect for ultra quick sensing.

In Mark mode, L-ON / D-ON is automatically set in the sensor. For example, with 2-level teaching, press the ON key at the targeted mark and press the
OFF key at the base (non-mark area).When doing so, the operator does not have to consider L-ON / D-ON.
Sensing accuracy can be set to either FINE (standard) or COARSE.
The percent display is only enabled in mark mode.
ECO mode is a function that reduces power consumption by turning off the digital display in the event no button operations are made for a
predetermined time (approx. 10 sec. or more) in RUN mode. Press any button to turn the digital display on again.
The turn mode is a function that reverses the digital display making it easily viewed in the event the sensor installation renders the display up-side-down.
● When in RUN mode, press the MODE
key for at least 2 sec. to display the
direct code. (Remove your finger from
the MODE key and the direct code will
disappear.)

• This catalog is a guide to select a suitable product.Be sure to read
the instruction manual attached to the product prior to its use.
This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not
intended or designed to protect life and prevent body
injury or property damage from dangerous parts of
machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor.

• Before performing teaching or each detail setting, perform the
setting of either mark mode or color mode with mark / color
mode setting of NAVI mode.
Objects with a glossy surface have a large amount of specular
reflection particles that may destabilize sensing. In such a case,
by slightly tilting the sensor’s beam axis, this specular reflection
can be reduced rendering sensing more stable.
If the surface of the sensing object has a shine,
mount the sensor inclining approx. 10 to 15
degrees against the sensing object.

CX-481 is the amplifier built-in photoelectric sensor
(CX-400 series) for transparent objects sensing. It
monitors the residual amounts of packing film and
announces the periodic replacements of film rolls.
These sensors are retroreflective types so they
can be installed with ease.
EX-10 series amplifier built-in ultra-slim
photoelectric sensor (3.5 mm 0.138 in
thick) that monitors packing film deflection
and can be installed in narrow spaces.
Detects meandering sheets using wide
beam fiber. The fiber amplifier is a 2-output
type that can detect meandering in both
the left and right directions.
Various mark sensing applications and sensor
applications to suit any job are available.
We at SUNX provide every type of sensor for food or drug packaging machines such as the
LX-100 series digital mark sensor made for sensing various types of marks.
