Industrial Applications

1. High-Speed Small Object Detection on Conveyor

Accurately detects small components on a fast-moving production line, such as electronic components or pharmaceutical pills, ensuring proper handling and sorting.

Problem Solved

Prevents miscounts or jams by reliably sensing small objects that might be missed by less precise or slower sensors. Its fast response time (1ms) and small beam spot (approx. ø2mm at 50mm) ensure high accuracy even at high speeds and for tiny items within its 10-70mm sensing range.

2. Part Presence/Absence Verification in Harsh Industrial Environments

Verifies the presence or absence of parts in manufacturing machinery or tooling where challenging environmental conditions, such as dust or splashing water, are common.

Problem Solved

Ensures correct part placement or tool indexing in environments prone to contaminants, preventing production errors or machine damage. The IP67 rating provides robust protection against water and dust ingress, while the PBT/polycarbonate housing offers durability and resistance.

3. End-of-Travel Sensing for Compact Robotic Grippers

Provides precise feedback for the fully open or closed position of robotic grippers or small actuators, particularly in confined spaces common in automated assembly.

Problem Solved

Offers reliable position sensing in applications where space is extremely limited and precise feedback is critical for robotic operations. The compact dimensions (3.1 cm Length x 1.12 cm Width x 2.0 cm Height) allow for seamless integration into tight mechanical designs, while the 10-70mm range is suitable for monitoring gripper jaw movement.
