Application and Tricks
1 Introduction
The AS30 Application Service package was developed to aid in identification of applica‐
tions that could be solved using the AS30 Array sensor. In this document we will elabo‐
rate on the applications as well as giving a step by step configuration for these applica‐
tions. Keep in mind that this is not an instruction manual on how to do an initial setup
of the device. This information is available in the Device operating instructions. This
document is application based setup, optimization and trouble shooting.
As products become more versatile, they also become more complex. This document
aids in bridging this gap. Information not in this document is available on the SICK Inter‐
nal Intranet and includes AS30 product training, application and setup videos, trou‐
bleshooting guide, firmware information and PLC integrations training Videos.

Settings via display
The most comprehensive way to configure is via SOPAS as not all settings are available
via the display.
Example for changing to reflector mode:
If a reflector calibration is needed, Sopas will be needed:

3 Edge detection of a grid
Task:
During the manufacturing of metal
grids, the customer wants to maintain
the alignment of the product on the
conveyor. As the target product is not a
solid target, a suitable product in an
acceptable price category has not been
found. The customer has considered
analog inductive sensors, photoelectric
arrays and camera systems with mini‐
mal success.
How to ... (Setup and configuration)
The AS30 can be configured as normal to Edge guiding.
Within the Sopas settings, a smoothing adjustment will resolve the issue of the object
not being solid.
•Use the device in Reflector Mode
•Consider a Tilt angle
•Adjust the Smoothing in Sopas
•Use the sensor as normal
Sopas
Smoothing for moving targets.
Setting in Sopas:
Adjust the Smoothing length in accor‐
dance to the speed of the movement
and the size of the openings

4 Guide line detection in print industry
Task:
In large printing houses, the alignment
of the paper is extremely important. On
many occasions, a printing alignment
line is also used. With this line, the
paper edge and the printing edge are
both measured to ensure alignment of
printer head and paper. Camera sys‐
tems have been used to manage this
task, but due to lighting and different
print line colors, repeated setup is
often needed. The customer requires
an accuracy of 0.1 mm with the dis‐
tance from Line to edge calibrated to
13 mm.
How to ... (Setup and configuration)
Using Sopas, the AS30 can be configured to width measurement. Also ensure that the
sensitivity is set to Fine.
On the target, select an Easy Teach-in to detect the first two edges in edge search direc‐
tion.
Select Advanced Teach-in to select the preferred edges.
Sopas
In the Teach-in Wizard, select the Teach-in snapshot and then select the preferred edge.

Click to the selected preferred edge
In Process data, select Width Measure‐
ment and Sensitivity Fine.
Selecting a window mode and set-points, you can set the tolerance window.
Within the Process data the width mea‐
surement is visible in reference to the
two selected edges. This value can be
measured with an analogue value as
well as a standard switching output.
