Application Notes
Loop Control of a Web
The D10 Expert detects the web if it droops into the sensor's beam because the tension is too loose; the D10 then sends a signal to the controller to adjust the speed accordingly.
Integrated Circuit Lead Frame Detection with a D10
The lead frame of an integrated circuit moves on a U-shaped channel toward the cassette that holds multiple frames. The D10 Expert Analog/Discrete sensor detects the leading and trailing edge, to signal to the cassette that the lead frame is approaching. The sensor operates in the opposed mode, because large differences in reflectivity of frame materials make diffuse sensing impossible.

Wafer Mapping with Bargraph Display
The fibers of the D10 Expert sensor move along the stack of wafers in the cassette, mapping which slots are occupied and which are empty. The bargraph displays the sensor's status.
Sensing in a High-Speed Chip Shooter
The bussable power feature of the D10 Expert allows for up to 16 sensors to be wired together and powered through one power supply, reducing the amount of wiring required and making it possible to use multiple sensors without needing multiple connection points. Space can be further conserved by mounting the sensors together on a DIN rail, utilizing fiber optics to monitor multiple inspection points in a confined space.
Counting Bolts Leaving a Feeder
The D10A Discrete sensor counts bolts as they drop from a vibrating feeder bowl and pass the sensor.
Part Detection for Error-Proofing
To solve this application, Banner Engineering has paired the technology of the D10D Expert with fiber optic arrays optimized for small object counting to create the D10 Expert Small Object Counter. In this application, the operator removes a cap and drops it through a funnel. The cap is then detected by the Small Object Counter, which verifies that the cap has been removed so the assembly process can continue.
Adhesive Bead Detection
The DF-GI amplifier, with the fiber optic sensing tip positioned near where the robot applies the adhesive, verifies that adhesive is applied to the IC chips. Opposed pairs of VS2 sensors detect when the level of filled wafer trays exceeds a preset height.
High-Speed Soybean Counting
To solve this application, Banner Engineering has paired the technology of the D10D Expert with fiber optic arrays optimized for small object counting to create the D10 Expert Small Object Counter. The preconfigured fiber optic arrays of the Small Object Counter make alignment and object positioning control less critical than when using single point emitter and receiver fiber optic assemblies. This assures reliable, consistent small object counting.
Seal and Perforation Detection on Translucent Poly Bags
Signal the location of perforation on plastic bag to separation mechanism.
Counting Gel-Caps in Pharmaceutical Bottling Applications
To solve this application, Banner Engineering has paired the technology of the D10D Expert with fiber optic arrays optimized for small object counting to create the D10 Expert Small Object Counter. The preconfigured fiber optic arrays of the Small Object Counter make alignment and object positioning control less critical than when using single point emitter and receiver fiber optic assemblies. This assures reliable, consistent small object counting.
Color Sorting
The D10 sorts gum packets by color—yellow, blue, or green—using dual-discrete outputs. The two outputs of the D10 Expert are programmed as follows: yellow is both outputs ON, blue is both outputs OFF, and green is one output ON and one OFF. The output wire of a Q12 sensor is connected to the inhibit wire of the D10 to ensure that the outputs are off when a packet is not present, so the sensor does not erroneously signal that a blue packet is present.
