Industrial Applications

1. Material Handling and Conveyor Systems

Precisely detects the presence, absence, or passage of objects on conveyor belts or within automated storage and retrieval systems in manufacturing and logistics. Its thru-beam principle ensures reliable sensing even with varying object surfaces.

Problem Solved

Ensures accurate product flow and prevents operational inefficiencies like jams by reliably detecting items across a 10-meter span in environments that may have dust or high ambient light, leveraging its 10m range and insensitivity to ambient light.
