The Applications
1. Micro-Package Detection on High-Speed Conveyors
In dense conveyor transfer areas, detecting small cartons, trays, or blister packs is difficult due to narrow mounting gaps and rapid belt movement. The WL2S-2N1330 solves this by projecting a sharply defined light spot that reliably detects small package edges at high speed. Its fast response prevents missed counts during peak throughput, while the slim housing fits easily between rollers or side guides. The built-in polarizing filter helps suppress reflections from glossy packaging films, delivering stable detection and accurate product tracking in automated logistics and packaging operations.
2. Component Presence Check in Compact Assembly Stations
Automated assembly lines depend on reliable confirmation that parts are correctly positioned before proceeding. The WL2S-2N1330 supports this requirement through precise optical alignment and consistent switching behavior, even when components vary in color or surface finish. Its adjustment-free design reduces setup time during frequent product changeovers. High switching speed ensures timely feedback to control systems during fast assembly cycles, helping manufacturers minimize assembly errors, reduce rework, and maintain consistent quality in precision production environments.
3. Detection of Shiny or Reflective Objects Inside Machinery
Machines with metallic frames and reflective tooling often cause false triggering with standard sensors. The WL2S-2N1330 mitigates this issue by filtering out unwanted reflections, allowing accurate detection of metal carriers, fixtures, or polished components. Its compact size enables close installation to the sensing point, improving detection reliability in confined spaces. This capability eliminates the need for mechanical shields or complex tuning, simplifying machine design while maintaining dependable operation in demanding industrial conditions.
4. Position Feedback for Fast Pick-and-Place Equipment
Pick-and-place systems require immediate and accurate position feedback to synchronize motion between conveyors and robotic arms. The WL2S-2N1330 provides rapid signal output that supports precise timing during high-speed handling operations. Its small detection spot allows reliable sensing of narrow components or carrier edges, even during rapid acceleration. Combined with a robust housing designed for continuous motion and vibration, the sensor helps maintain consistent cycle times and reduces unexpected downtime in automated handling and robotic packaging systems.
