Industrial Applications

1. Small Component Detection on Conveyors

Used to detect the presence or absence of small electronic components on a fast-moving conveyor belt in an assembly line.

Problem Solved

The narrow-view beam can reliably detect very small targets, and the fast 1ms response time ensures that no component is missed even at high conveyor speeds. The IP67 rating protects the sensor from dust and washdowns in the factory environment.

2. Pharmaceutical Pill Counting

Integrated into a pharmaceutical packaging machine to accurately count pills as they are dispensed into bottles.

Problem Solved

The sensor's precise detection capabilities allow for accurate counting of individual small pills. The selectable Light-On/Dark-On modes can be configured to either detect the presence of a pill or the gap between them, ensuring high counting accuracy.

3. Web Break Detection in Printing Presses

Monitors the continuous paper web in a commercial printing press to immediately detect a tear or break.

Problem Solved

The adjustable 70-300mm sensing range allows for flexible positioning. In case of a paper break, the sensor's fast response time triggers an immediate machine stop, minimizing material waste and potential damage to the printing press. The IP67 rating is beneficial in environments with airborne paper dust and occasional cleaning.
