AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional multi-axis sensors require operators to predictively adjust the orientations of the light projector and receiver until an indicator lamp lights up, indicating the necessary light reception amount, which can be challenging depending on the operator's skill level.

Method used

An adjustment processing device that includes an acquisition unit, an extraction unit, and a processing unit to acquire, extract, and process input levels from multiple input units corresponding to output units in a sensor device, facilitating orientation adjustments based on the magnitude relationship of these input levels.

Benefits of technology

The solution enables easy and accurate orientation adjustments of the sensor device, reducing the workload for operators and improving the consistency of adjustments regardless of operator skill levels.

Abstract

To provide an adjustment processing device, an adjustment processing method, an adjustment processing program, and a sensor device, capable of easily adjusting the orientation of a sensor device.SOLUTION: An adjusting processing device includes an acquiring unit, an extracting unit, and a processing unit. The acquiring unit acquires each input level of a plurality of input units from a sensor device having a plurality of output units arranged linearly for sequentially outputting detection waves and the plurality of input units to which the detection waves are input and arranged correspondingly to each of the plurality of output units. The extracting unit extracts, from among the input levels acquired, input levels of two or more input units corresponding to the output units from which the detection waves are output. The processing unit, on the basis of the magnitude relationship between the input levels of the two or more input units extracted, performs processing on an adjustment of the orientation of at least one of the output and input units along the array direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
