In packaging facilities, pallets are often loaded with products of varying heights before wrapping. A light grid such as the SGS4-F124P3PS2T00 can monitor the full stack height by detecting how many beams are interrupted as the pallet moves past. This allows the wrapping machine to automatically adjust its wrap height without separate probes or manual checks. The wide 1,240 mm detection area ensures reliable measurement even when boxes are uneven or not perfectly aligned. As a result, wrapping quality becomes more consistent, film usage is optimized, and operators spend less time making manual adjustments, improving both throughput and packaging accuracy.
Logistics and production lines rely on precise tracking of items moving at speed. The SGS4-F124P3PS2T00 provides a stable detection field capable of identifying the leading and trailing edges of parcels, flat items, or irregular shapes. Its fast response helps prevent miscounts and ensures that sorting, diverting, or scanning equipment receives accurate timing signals. Because the beams are closely spaced, smaller gaps or low-profile goods can still be detected reliably. This stabilizes conveyor operations, reduces unexpected stoppages, and supports consistent material flow, especially in environments where object size and orientation can change frequently.
Industrial machines often require automatic material feeding while restricting human access to hazardous zones. The SGS4-F124P3PS2T00 can be positioned at machine entry points to differentiate between permitted materials and unwanted intrusion. Its tall detection height and multiple parallel beams create a virtual barrier that instantly identifies when something larger than expected enters the zone. Raw materials can move through without issue, while any attempt at manual reach-in would immediately trigger a stop signal. This method improves operator safety without installing bulky doors or cages and maintains smooth material flow for automated cycles.
Robotic palletizing systems rely on accurate presence and size information to handle mixed goods. The SGS4-F124P3PS2T00 can scan items as they approach the loading area, determining their height profile and spacing based on beam interruptions. This allows the robot or conveyor logic to adjust its gripping or stacking routine without manual configuration. The sensor’s wide detection field is particularly useful for pallets containing various box dimensions or irregular stacking patterns. By providing reliable object data before each pick or place, the system minimizes errors, reduces downtime from misaligned loads, and increases overall handling efficiency.
