The Z Detection Plate is a laser-cut precision component used in automation systems, designed to pass through optical or proximity sensors to trigger detection, alignment, or limit signals. Its angular, step-cut profile provides clear detection contrast and is engineered for reliability in high-speed motion environments or clean automation setups.

Features: 

• Z-Shaped Profile: Unique stepped geometry ensures clear and distinguishable sensor activation from multiple approach directions.
• Flat Laser-Cut Body: Manufactured with tight tolerances for consistency in shape, ensuring accurate sensor response and repeatability.
• Chamfered Edges: Smooth finish around corners and contours prevents snagging or obstruction during movement or installation.
• Compact Form Factor: Thin and lightweight, suitable for use in limited spaces or mounted onto moving components.

Material: 

• Stainless Steel: Offers high durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring the plate remains clean and structurally sound even in humid or cleanroom environments.

Dimensions: 

• Height: Customizable
• Width: Customizable
• Thickness: Customizable
• Mounting: Can be bonded or screwed depending on the machine configuration

Applications: 

Used primarily in sensor-based automation systems, this detection plate serves as a trigger flag for optical or proximity sensors-often marking the Z-axis zero position or as a pass-through signal in robotic or conveyor setups. Common on semiconductor, electronics assembly, and precision machinery.

Customization: 

Available in different materials (such as aluminum or mild steel), thicknesses, and geometries to suit various sensor types and mounting configurations. Surface treatments like sandblasting or passivation can be applied for enhanced cleanliness or contrast.
