Industrial Applications

1. Conveyor Line Object Detection

Utilizing the CX-412's emitter and receiver across a wide conveyor belt to reliably detect the presence or absence of boxes. The long 15-meter sensing range is ideal for wide spans, ensuring complete coverage.

Problem Solved

Provides consistent and accurate object detection across wide industrial conveyors where shorter-range sensors would be inadequate, preventing product jams or miscounts.

2. Automated Car Wash Vehicle Positioning

Mounting the sensor at the entrance and exit of an automated car wash to detect vehicle entry and confirm departure. The IP67 rating ensures the sensor withstands direct water spray and exposure to detergents without failure.

Problem Solved

Offers a durable and water-resistant solution for vehicle detection in a wet, high-pressure wash-down environment, ensuring reliable operation of the car wash cycle.

3. High-Speed Bottling Line Counter

Implementing the sensor on a high-speed bottling line to count individual bottles as they pass. The rapid 1ms response time ensures that no bottle is missed, even at high production speeds.

Problem Solved

Accurately counts fast-moving objects on a production line, which is critical for inventory management and quality control, overcoming the limitations of slower sensors.
