Industrial Applications

1. Automated Warehouse Conveyor Line Monitoring

The sensor pair is installed on opposite sides of a large conveyor system in a logistics warehouse to detect the presence or absence of packages and totes.

Problem Solved

Its exceptionally long 30-meter sensing range is perfect for wide conveyor belts or sorting areas, ensuring reliable detection where shorter-range sensors would fail. The IP67 rating ensures durability in dusty warehouse environments.

2. Overhead Gantry and Crane Positioning

The emitter and receiver are mounted on an overhead gantry crane and a fixed structural point to act as a limit or home position sensor, preventing over-travel.

Problem Solved

The 30m range allows for reliable, non-contact end-of-travel detection across large operational spans common for gantry systems. Its fast 2ms response time ensures the crane's control system receives a timely signal to stop motion.

3. Vehicle Entry/Exit Detection for Automated Gates

The sensor is used to detect cars or trucks at the entrance of a parking garage or industrial facility to trigger the automatic opening of a security gate.

Problem Solved

The IP67 rating makes it suitable for outdoor installation where it may be exposed to rain and dust. The thru-beam configuration is highly reliable for detecting vehicles of various sizes and colors, a challenge for reflective-type sensors, and the 30m range covers wide driveways.
