Value Up through a Shift in Thinking! A Collection of Case Studies on Problem Solving with Photo Sensors

Examples are provided that demonstrate the realization of weight reduction and cost reduction by narrowing down functionalities and utilizing photo sensors as alternatives to liquid level sensors and CCDs.

At Shinko Electronics, we have been developing, manufacturing, and selling photo sensors for over 40 years. We offer a wide range of photo sensors that excel in various fields, including transmission type, reflection type, separation type, prism type, and actuator type, and we can customize them to meet your specific needs. Laser sensors, electrode-type sensors, float-type liquid level sensors, motion sensors, FA sensors... Various sensors are used in both industrial and consumer devices. However, by identifying the purpose of detection and rethinking the approach, it is sometimes possible to meet functionality with standard photo sensors. If you have concerns about the size, weight, or price of the sensors you are using, please feel free to contact us. Our knowledgeable sales representatives will propose alternative photo sensors that can meet your needs. = Case Study Contents = ■ Detection of full tank in portable device drainage tanks - Successfully achieved a weight reduction of 95% by replacing with an electrode-type level sensor ■ Detecting thin line dragonfly marks - Successfully detected dragonfly marks as small as 0.3mm at a low cost * The case studies also include product data sheets.
