German VIAVI SOLUTIONS sensors, VIAVI SOLUTIONS models, VIAVI SOLUTIONS prices

VIAVI SOLUTIONS sensors are sensors that measure the operating speed of the object under test and convert it into an output signal. Speed sensors include linear speed sensors and rotational speed sensors. With technological development, traditional measurement equipment can no longer meet current needs and is gradually being phased out, while laser speed sensors have been widely used. They play an important role in product manufacturing processes; by connecting to a computer, they enable automated and intelligent measurement and control of the object under test. This is the product of the combination of current measurement technology and computer technology.

VIAVI SOLUTIONS sensor classification

1) Laser speed measurement: With the rise of precision manufacturing and the need for cost savings, non-contact speed sensors are gradually replacing contact speed sensors. The most common and high-precision non-contact laser speed sensor on the market is the ZLS-Px aberration speed sensor. The aberration speed sensor has two ports: one emission port that emits a LED light source, and one high-speed imaging port that achieves CCD area high-speed imaging comparison. By comparing images at two points in time within an extremely short period, the distance moved by the object under test is determined, and the sensor's internal algorithms output the object's speed in real time. As shown in the figure, (1) is the LED light emission port, (2) is the camera reception port, (3) and (4) are terminal blocks, and (5) are mounting screw holes. The (1) LED light emission port emits laser light toward the object under test, which reflects to the (2) camera reception port. After receiving the signal, it is transmitted to the signal processor, which calculates the speed using algorithms. The ZLS-Px aberration speed sensor can simultaneously measure speed and length in two directions. It can detect not only whether the object under test has stopped but also its direction of motion. Mount the sensor on a stable bracket to ensure that the rotating object does not generate excessive vibration during rotation, thereby allowing measurement of the rotation angle and rotational speed of the object under test. 2) Radar speed measurement: Traditional speed measurement mostly focuses on rotational motion speed and linear motion speed. However, there are many irregular speed measurement scenarios in industrial automation, such as athlete speed measurement, traffic vehicle speed measurement, and golf ball speed measurement. Radar speed sensors can meet these requirements.

VIAVI SOLUTIONS sensor principle

A transmissive speed sensor consists of a slotted or notched disk, a light source, and a phototube. When the disk rotates with the shaft under test, light can only reach the phototube through the holes or notches. When the phototube is illuminated, its reverse resistance is very low, outputting an electrical pulse signal. When the light source is blocked by the disk, the phototube's reverse resistance is very high, and no signal is output. Thus, the rotational speed of the shaft under test can be determined based on the number of holes or notches on the disk. The usual number of disk holes or notches is unclear in the source, so the photoelectric converter outputs 60 pulse signals per revolution of the shaft under test. If the time base signal of the electronic counter is set to 1s, the rotational speed of the shaft under test can be read directly. The principle of reflective speed sensors is similar to that of transmissive sensors, converting changes in sensed light into electrical signal changes via a phototube, but they obtain pulse signals through light reflection. Typically, reflective material is adhered to the measurement area of the shaft under test to form a reflective surface. Common reflective materials include dedicated speed measurement reflective tape (adhesive tape); aluminum foil or other reflective materials can also be used, and sometimes white paint is applied to the measurement area as a reflective surface. The projector and reflective surface must be properly configured, typically with a distance of 5-15M between them. When the shaft under test rotates, the photoelectric element receives pulsed light and outputs corresponding electrical signals to the electronic counter, thereby measuring the rotational speed of the shaft. The waveform of the output signal from photoelectric speed sensors is relatively regular, close to a standard square wave, with almost no interference signals generated. However, vibration in transmissive types can reduce the lifespan of the light source, making them unsuitable for conditions with strong vibration. Reflective types have no mechanical connection with the shaft under test and are convenient to use.

VIAVI SOLUTIONS sensor industry applications

1) Modern vehicles are generally equipped with engine control, autonomous driving, ABS, TRC, automatic door locking, active suspension, guidance systems, electronic instruments, and other devices, All these devices require the vehicle speed signal. Therefore, The accuracy and stability of the output signal from the vehicle speed sensor will have a significant impact on these control units. Automotive speed sensors mostly adopt a Hall-effect structure, A Hall speed sensor is a magnetoelectric sensor based on the Hall effect, Characterized by high sensitivity to magnetic fields, stable output signal, high frequency response, strong anti-electromagnetic interference capability, simple structure, and ease of use. It mainly consists of permanent magnets with a specific number of pole pairs (generally 4 or 8 pairs), Hall elements, a rotating mechanism, and input/output connectors. Its working principle is that when the sensor's rotating mechanism rotates under external drive, it drives the permanent magnet to rotate, causing the magnetic field passing through the Hall element to change periodically, which causes the output voltage of the Hall element to change, forming a stable pulse voltage signal through subsequent circuit processing, serving as the output signal of the vehicle speed sensor. The main electrical technical parameters of Hall-structure speed sensors include: output signal high voltage, low voltage, duty cycle, period, rise time, fall time, number of pulses per period, etc. To ensure product performance reliability, these parameters must be quantitatively tested before leaving the factory. Test systems featuring integration and intelligence, efficient automatic measurement, software calculation, and graphical or tabular display of test results are increasingly favored by automotive speed sensor manufacturers. A comprehensive testing device developed for performance measurement of commonly used Hall-effect vehicle speed sensors. Based on cost considerations, the high-speed counter port of a microprocessor is used for data acquisition from the vehicle speed sensor, and software control is used to implement calculation and graphical display processing of the acquired data. The completed testing device offers advantages such as high testing precision, reliable data communication, a user-friendly graphical interface, strong anti-interference capability, simple and intuitive testing process, and low system development cost, having good market potential for widespread adoption, Therefore, speed sensors have significant application prospects in vehicle speed detection. 2) The speed sensor of the belt conveyor adopts a Hall sensor, which is primarily a sensor that utilizes the Hall effect to achieve magneto-electric conversion, The Hall effect has a development history of more than 100 years since its discovery in 1879, but its application began in the 50s of this century, Due to the rapid development of microelectronics, it has gained attention and widespread adoption, and various types of Hall elements have been continuously developed. China began to increase research on Hall elements in the 70s of the 20th century, After nearly several decades of research and development, it is now possible to produce Hall elements with various performance characteristics, such as: standard type, high sensitivity type, low temperature coefficient type, temperature and magnetic field measurement type, and switching type Hall elements. Due to the characteristics of Hall sensors, such as high sensitivity, good linearity, high stability, small size, and high temperature resistance, they have been widely applied in various industrial fields, including non-electrical quantity measurement and automatic control, computer devices, and modern military technology.
