Industrial Applications

1. Conveyor Belt Part Detection

Utilizing the 200mm sensing range and high 250Hz switching frequency to reliably detect the presence of opaque or reflective manufactured parts as they move rapidly down an automated assembly line.

Problem Solved

Prevents bottlenecks and ensures accurate part counting without requiring a retro-reflective mirror, simplifying the conveyor installation process.

2. Packaging Machinery Jam Detection

Mounted in close proximity to packaging feed mechanisms to continuously monitor carton flow. The robust M18 threaded housing allows for precise flush or non-flush mounting, identifying jams instantly when materials block the infrared beam.

Problem Solved

Reduces machine downtime and product damage by halting the packaging process immediately when feed anomalies are detected in harsh environments.

3. Automated Material Handling and Sorting

Installed on sorting chutes to detect passing items and trigger pneumatic diverters. The 10-30V DC operating voltage integrates easily with standard PLCs, while the IP67-rated brass housing withstands mechanical impacts and industrial dust.

Problem Solved

Provides highly responsive, non-contact part diversion, ensuring precise mechanical sorting without physical wear and tear on the sensor body.
