3. Edge Detection for Material Handling Systems

The side-sensing thru-beam configuration and 500mm sensing range enable precise edge detection of various materials, such as films, sheets, or PCBs, on conveyor belts or feeders. Its small size allows seamless integration without obstructing material flow, and the NPN output can directly interface with PLCs for effective control.

Problem Solved

Accurately detects material edges to guide and control material flow in automated handling systems, optimizing alignment and preventing material waste.
