| Response Time | ≤ 14 ms | ≤ 15 ms | ≤ 8 ms |
| Mounting Type | Standard mount with L-bracket | Slim mount with rear mounting | Flexible (Standard + Slim models) |
| Detection Range | 3 m | 6 m | 3 m / 6 m |
| Price Range | $$ | $$$ | $ |
2) Keyence SL-V / GL-R and DQC Compatibility
When replacing Keyence SL-V or GL-R with DAIDISIKE DQC, compatibility considerations include:
- Mounting: DQC mounts fit within Keyence SL-V profiles with L-bracket adapters. The GL-R’s slim design may require special adapter kits for tight spaces.
- Wiring: Ensure proper wiring for OSSD circuits, EDM feedback, and safety relays when replacing Keyence models.
- Detection Range: DQC offers multiple resolution options (10 mm / 30 mm) to meet different machine safety needs.
3) Selection Considerations
The decision to use Keyence SL-V, GL-R, or DAIDISIKE DQC largely depends on application needs. Consider the following:
For Higher Resolution
- DAIDISIKE DQC 10 mm provides superior resolution for tighter safety areas.
- Ideal for high-precision environments requiring quick response times.
For Cost-Effective Solutions
- DAIDISIKE DQC 30 mm offers an economical solution while keeping the same detection performance.
- Best for moderate-range applications with standard protection needs.
4) Pricing & Cost Benefits
DAIDISIKE DQC provides a cost-effective alternative to Keyence models with comparable or superior performance. By selecting DAIDISIKE, you can achieve:
- Lower initial cost: DQC models are priced competitively for smaller operations or retrofits.
- Long-term savings: DQC's energy-efficient operation and durable construction offer reduced maintenance costs over time.
