Industrial Applications

1. Transparent Bottle Presence Detection on Filling Lines

The Panasonic CX-483 sensor reliably detects the presence of clear plastic (PET) or glass bottles on high-speed bottling lines before filling or capping stations. Its ability to detect transparent objects prevents misfills or missing caps, ensuring product quality and reducing waste.

Problem Solved

Prevents production line errors due to undetected transparent containers, ensuring proper filling and sealing processes for beverages.

3. Non-Contact Transparent Liquid Level Detection in Tanks

The CX-483, with its transparent object detection capability and ethanol resistance, can be mounted externally to small, clear plastic or glass chemical tanks to detect the presence or absence of transparent liquids. This enables non-contact level monitoring, crucial in environments where chemical contact with the sensor is undesirable.

Problem Solved

Provides non-invasive and reliable level detection for transparent chemicals in tanks, safeguarding sensor integrity and ensuring safe and accurate dispensing or refilling operations.
