Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a field-adjustable distance sensor configured to translate a transfer function of the sensor by a substantially constant value in a position domain by calibration at one or more known distances. In an illustrative example, the transfer function may correlate multiple distances to corresponding position vectors describing a position of a light signal on a receiver. The receiver may, for example, generate a detection signal corresponding to a position on the receiver of a light signal reflected off a target. A control circuit may, for example, generate a position vector in response to the detection signal. A calibration constant (C) may be generated, for example, as a function of a known distance of the target and position vector. C may be applied, for example, to translate the transfer function in the position domain. Various embodiments may advantageously reduce non-linear error in a distance sensor.

Abstract: A sensor device has a metal sensor housing with a housing base coupled to a frame base of a metal optical frame. A device mounting plate is orthogonal to the frame base. A securing device secures an optical communication device to the device mounting plate. A barrel mounting channel has first and second sidewalls, each extending obliquely to the frame base and defining a linear translation pathway along the frame base for a metal lens barrel. A fastener secures the metal lens barrel to the first and second sidewalls. A glass lens is in contact with three protrusions extending outward from an inner annular surface of the lens barrel. The optical communication device is configured to be in optical communication with the lens and is secured in a particular position in a translation plane mutually defined by the device mounting plate and the optical communication device.

Abstract: The technology disclosed herein relates to a magnetic mounting assembly having a frame. A first ferromagnetic extension is fixed to the frame and extends in an axial direction. A second ferromagnetic extension is fixed to the frame and extends in the axial direction. A bar magnet has a first lateral end defining a first magnetic pole magnetically coupled to the first ferromagnetic extension. The bar magnet has a second lateral end defining an opposite magnetic pole magnetically coupled to the second ferromagnetic extension. The first ferromagnetic extension and the second ferromagnetic extension are configured to fix the bar magnet relative to the frame.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a select frequency phase measurement (SFPM) time of flight (TOF) system including an emitter and a receiver. The emitter may generate a modulated emitted signal by at least one frequency. The emitted signal may, for example, be a pulsed light signal. The receiver may generate a signal in response to receiving a reflection of the emitted signal off a target object. An ADC element may digitize a signal generated by the receiving element, and a reference signal generated by a monitored signal of the modulated emitted signal. A processing element may generate a phase signal using single frequency analysis of the digitized signals. A distance measurement signal may be generated as a function of the phase signal. Various embodiments may, for example, advantageously enable sub-millisecond sensor response times using commodity processing elements.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a side-mounted field-installable indication module (SMFIIM) configured to reflect a status of a manufacturing area (e.g., a status of a machine, status of a light curtain). In an illustrative example, the SMFIIM may include a light emitting module configured to emit a visual indicium corresponding to the status of the manufacturing area, and a coupling member configured to be releasably captured within a longitudinally extending channel of a housing of a light curtain. After installation, for example, the SMFIIM may be disposed on a side of and substantially parallel to the housing. The light emitting module may emit the visual indicium in an emitting plane oriented at an angle less than 90° to a plane tangential to a mounting surface of the light curtain housing. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a wide viewing angle of the light emitting module around the lighting curtain.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the technology disclosed herein relate to a sensor device. An elongate sleeve has a first end and a second end and extends along a longitudinal axis. A plurality of sensors are fixed relative to the sleeve. A first endcap is coupled to the first end, where the first endcap has an endcap body. A first axle is coupled to the endcap body, where the first axle extends along the longitudinal axis and the first axle defines a retaining feature. An intermediate component is coupled to the first axle, and the intermediate component is selectively rotatable about the longitudinal axis. The sensor device has an orientation locking structure that is configured to be engaged to selectively fix the orientation of the intermediate component about the longitudinal axis relative to the endcap body.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating a wiring schema with more than one safety device sharing at least one test signal through one or more external terminal blocks when the number of terminals required by safety devices exceeds the number of available terminals of a safety controller. In an illustrative example, the method may include determining a total number of terminals A of safety devices to be connected to a safety evaluation device having a number of terminals B. If A is greater than B, the method may then include generating a wiring schema that one or more external terminal blocks may show indicia of electrical connections between an identified set of safety devices and a shared terminal of the safety evaluation device associated with that set. By using the method, the number of devices that can be connected to the safety evaluation device may be expanded.
