Impact sensor from ipf: Reliable detection and counting of robust parts

When detecting robust parts on machine ejectors, sensors that are too sensitive can quickly be damaged or destroyed. This is why ipf electronic has developed the impact sensor YM500170 an interesting niche product in its portfolio.

The sensor in an aluminum housing (protection class IP67) impresses with its high endurance and is particularly suitable for applications in which, for example, screws, rivets, punched parts, springs, but also non-metallic parts must be detected and counted. The compact impact sensor (55mm x 50mm x 10mm) is simply mounted on a machine ejector, whereby it only reacts to the physical impact of objects on the replaceable steel impact plate.

The YM500170 can detect up to 100 parts per second. The minimum reference for reliable detection is a steel ball with a diameter of 3mm from a drop height of 20mm. The signal quality of light or fast falling objects can be optimized by adjustable pulse stretching in the time range from 0.1 to 30ms.

The electrical connection of the impact sensor is made via a 3-pin M8 plug-in contact protected against mechanical damage.
