Industrial Applications

1. Automated Packaging Conveyor Object Counting

Detecting the presence of individual packaged items (boxes, bottles) as they pass on a conveyor belt within a 100mm distance.

Problem Solved

Ensures precise triggering of a PLC line-counter or downstream actuator. The rapid 1ms response time ensures no missed packages even at high conveyor line speeds.

2. Compact Assembly Machine Part Presence Verification

Confirming that a small metal or plastic component has been correctly positioned in an assembly jig before a robotic arm proceeds with the next assembly step.

Problem Solved

With its ultra-compact dimensions (11.2 x 31 x 20 mm), the sensor easily integrates into tight fixture setups. The automatic interference prevention allows two sensors to be mounted side-by-side to verify alignment at two different points without cross-talk.

3. Wet Area Sorting and Detection

Detecting objects in food processing or automotive assembly lines where water spray, dust, or coolants may be present.

Problem Solved

The IP67 rating ensures that water spray and dust do not penetrate the sensor housing, preventing failure and maintaining reliable operation. The PBT enclosure and acrylic lens offer high chemical resistance to common industrial oils and coolants.
