A multichannel sensor is a sensor with alignment of several elements, enabling magnetic information sensing on the same time axis. The main feature of the multichannel sensor is that target media can be two-dimensionally traced. To detect several types of media, or change the medium type, you only need to overwrite the ROM. The standard model provides a detecting width of 3mm, channel pitch of 5mm, and eight channels. However, we can offer custom-made models with required detecting width, number of channels, and channel pitch. For details, consult Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
The performance of the multichannel sensor has been proven in the field where high-precision and high-speed transport have been required.
It is recommended that the multichannel sensor be mounted with an L-type bracket.
A magnetic dot with 1-mm diameter is placed on the sensor's detecting surface and transported laterally in 0.5-mm steps, and the sensor's output is then measured.
Crosstalk Characteristic
Non-contact detection is required for high-speed processing systems.
Gap/Output Voltage Attenuation Characteristic
A gap of "0mm" corresponds to the position where the target medium is in contact with the sensor's detecting surface.
The 8-channel sensor provides 24 + 1 (FG) terminals. Using a PCB enables the required number of terminals to be reduced to 11.
