3. Transparent/Reflective Material Detection in Packaging

With its thru-beam sensing principle and ability to detect objects down to Ø0.5mm (with slit masks), the CX-411-P excels at identifying transparent materials like glass bottles or reflective packaging. Its high noise resistance ensures stable operation near other electrical equipment.

Problem Solved

Accurately detects challenging materials often found in packaging and bottling lines, such as clear plastics, glass, or shiny metal, where standard diffuse sensors may fail. This prevents misfeeds and ensures product quality in electrically noisy environments.
