Free Uv Sensor Application Handbook
October 12th, 2008
The UVX 300 luminescence sensor was designed to effectively detect UV luminescent materials and markers. The UV light source in the UVX 300 is directed towards a target and the visible light is reflected from the target back to the UVX300. Since the UV luminescent materials and inks are invisible under a normal light spectrum it is possible to mark products and parts without affecting their appearance. Some materials such as wood, grease and glue may contain UV luminescent materials naturally...
