About SUNX General Purpose & Slim Body Area Sensor
SUNX NA2-N General Purpose & Slim Body Area Sensor
Area Detection Sensor
- 6 different sensing heights for wide range of detection or part picking applications
- Ultra-slim profile (13mm / 0.512)
- Clear visible wide indicating light
The NA2-N series of area sensors provides a general-purpose detection solution with a wide range of sensing heights (140mm - 540mm). They have a 20mm beam pitch and offer a sensing range of up to 5m. With an ultra-slim body of just 13mm, mounting has been greatly simplified. A large 102mm LED job indicator is integrated into both the emitter and receiver for high visibility of output status. The LED can also be used for larger pick to light applications. Furthermore, the emission frequency can be modified to prevent mutual interference when two sensors are mounted in proximity with each other.

FAQ's of SUNX General Purpose & Slim Body Area Sensor:
Q: How do I install the SUNX General Purpose & Slim Body Area Sensor?
A: This sensor supports both DIN rail and panel mounting, making installation straightforward. The standard pre-wired 2-meter cable simplifies electrical connections. Follow the included instructions for proper alignment and secure the sensor in place using the mounting hardware provided.
Q: What applications are ideal for the SUNX area sensor?
A: The sensor is suitable for object detection, area monitoring, part and hand detection, safety monitoring, object counting, and assembly line or packaging applications in industrial automation environments.
Q: When should I choose a 10 mm or 20 mm beam pitch model?
A: Select the 10 mm beam pitch for higher resolution and smaller object detection needs. The 20 mm pitch is recommended when broader object detection or lower resolution is sufficient for the application.
Q: Where can this sensor be used considering ambient conditions?
A: Thanks to its IP65-rated enclosure, wide operating temperature range (-10C to +55C), and high resistance to ambient light, vibration, and shock, it is suitable for use in demanding industrial and manufacturing settings.
Q: What processes benefit from its synchronized scanning and multiple optical axis channels?
A: Synchronized scanning and up to 40 optical channels enable precise detection of multiple objects or zones simultaneously, benefiting automated assembly lines, packaging processes, and safety perimeter monitoring.
Q: How does the sensor indicate status and promote operational safety?
A: Operation and stability LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback. Built-in reverse polarity and short-circuit protection circuits increase electrical safety during use and maintenance.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the SUNX area sensor in industrial applications?
A: Key advantages include high detection accuracy, robust design, easy integration, adjustable sensitivity, compliance with industry standards (CE, RoHS), and reliable performance even under tough industrial conditions.
