1. Transparent Bottle Detection in Beverage Bottling Lines
The sensor's ClearSens technology and autocollimation principle allow it to accurately detect transparent PET or glass containers with zero blind spots. Its 1000 Hz switching frequency easily accommodates the rapid throughput of modern conveyors, ensuring each bottle is accurately counted before filling and capping stages.
Problem SolvedReliably detecting clear PET or glass bottles on high-speed conveyors without false triggers caused by glare or unpredictable optical reflections.

2. Shrink-Wrapped Pallet and Film Detection
Utilizing its specialized optical evaluation logic and IO-Link configuration, the sensor can be finely tuned to recognize the presence of thin, glossy wrapping films. The PinPoint LED ensures a highly concentrated light spot, penetrating glare and ensuring automated packaging machinery operates without material feed errors.
Problem SolvedStandard photoelectric sensors struggle to detect thin, highly reflective plastic shrink films used in automated packaging processes.
