Pallet Flow Monitoring in Warehouses
Used across pallet conveyors, the sensor detects the presence of each pallet regardless of surface material or lighting conditions. Its long sensing range and high reliability ensure accurate counting and flow control in storage and shipping areas.
High-Speed Jam Detection on Conveyors
Positioned along automated conveyor belts, the sensor detects blockages instantly. Thanks to its fast switching frequency, it can stop the system before product pile-ups cause damage or halt production.
Safety Detection for Industrial Doors
Installed across the path of industrial sliding or roll-up doors, the sensor halts closing when the beam is interrupted. This provides an effective safeguard against accidental collisions with people or equipment.
Lid Presence Inspection in Bottling
On bottling lines, the sensor checks whether caps are properly applied. If the beam isn’t blocked at the right moment, it signals a missing or skewed lid—ensuring only correctly sealed containers move forward.
Rack Positioning in Automated Storage
In automated storage systems, the sensor verifies whether boxes are properly aligned on racks. Its accuracy at long range helps detect overhanging loads or misplaced items that could interfere with robotic arms or shuttles.
Vehicle Entry Detection in Parking Systems
Positioned at entry gates, the sensor detects when a vehicle approaches by sensing beam interruption. Its dependable operation across different vehicle shapes and finishes makes it ideal for unmanned parking access.
Detection of Transparent Objects on Conveyors
In applications handling clear plastics or glass, the through-beam design detects objects that are often missed by traditional sensors. This makes it essential for verifying product presence in packaging and glass manufacturing.
