DML-HB1 Hokuyo Data Transmitter IP68 Shock Resistant Multi Parameter For Mining Machinery

The DML-HB1 is a compact optical data transmitter engineered for mission-critical industrial automation, delivering reliable 8-bit parallel I/O communication via infrared (IR) technology. Designed to meet SEMI E84 standards for semiconductor manufacturing, it enables seamless integration with Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS) and AGVs, ensuring precise control during wafer carrier handoff operations.

With a half-duplex transmission speed of ≤40ms and pulse modulation technology, it achieves real-time data exchange across a 1-meter range with ±30° side-on directional accuracy, making it ideal for dynamic environments like semiconductor cleanrooms or logistics sorting hubs. The device incorporates parity check error correction to minimize data corruption, while its 24V DC power supply and 100mA maximum current consumption ensure energy-efficient operation in high-density setups.

Encased in an IP64-rated polycarbonate housing, the DML-HB1 withstands dust, water splashes, and vibrations (1.5mm double amplitude at 10-55Hz), ensuring resilience in challenging settings such as automotive assembly lines or outdoor logistics yards. Its -10°C to +50°C operating temperature range and 4,000 lux ambient light tolerance (incandescent) allow consistent performance in extreme conditions, outperforming competitors like Keyence's CX-411 (which typically maxes at 3,000 lux).

The 280g lightweight design (excluding cable) and 30° adjustable beam angle simplify installation on robotic arms or conveyor systems, while the shielded 15-core M12 connector reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) for stable signal integrity. A multi-color LED indicator provides real-time feedback on power status, signal strength, and error conditions, streamlining maintenance workflows.

The DML-HB1 supports plug-and-play compatibility with HOKUYO's passive receivers (e.g., DMS-HB1-R), enabling rapid deployment in AGV-to-dock communication or robotic material handling systems. Its teachable mode allows operators to configure transmission parameters via push-button controls, reducing setup time by 30% compared to traditional potentiometer-adjusted sensors.

For semiconductor applications, the device's SEMI E84 compliance ensures seamless interoperability with industry-standard AMHS platforms, while its 2m pre-wired cable eliminates the need for field wiring in cleanroom environments. With 500m/s² impact resistance and RoHS-compliant construction, the DML-HB1 exemplifies HOKUYO's commitment to durability and sustainability. For high-speed requirements, HOKUYO offers the DML-HB2 variant, which extends the transmission range to 3 meters without compromising data integrity.
