1. High-Speed Bottle Counting on Conveyor Lines
In beverage or pharmaceutical filling lines, bottles move rapidly along conveyors where accurate counting and spacing control are essential. The WS/WE100L-F2131 uses a fine red laser beam and rapid 0.25 ms response to identify each passing bottle with high precision. Its long sensing range allows for flexible installation away from moving belts, reducing vibration interference. The result is consistent detection and reliable throughput, minimizing product loss and ensuring seamless production flow.
2. PCB Handling in Electronics Assembly
During automated PCB transport and placement, tiny variations in position can cause assembly errors. The WS/WE100L-F2131 detects slim or glossy board edges using its sharp laser beam and stable light intensity. Adjustable sensitivity and high switching frequency ensure accurate detection even when PCBs move quickly between robotic stations. This guarantees proper alignment and smooth transfer, improving precision and lowering defect rates in compact electronic manufacturing setups.
3. Precision Packaging and Carton Alignment
Packaging lines demand exact box positioning for labeling, gluing, and sealing processes. The WS/WE100L-F2131 provides reliable edge detection for different surface finishes — from shiny cartons to matte packaging. Its robust IP65 enclosure withstands dust and vibration, making it ideal for long production runs. With adjustable light/dark modes and quick response, the sensor maintains continuous, accurate alignment, improving efficiency and reducing the need for manual correction.
4. Object Detection in Automated Warehouse Systems
In warehouse logistics, objects of varying sizes and colors move on fast conveyors or automated guided vehicles. The WS/WE100L-F2131’s 30 m detection range and precise laser alignment enable accurate recognition of packages at high speeds. Its fast response time ensures that sorting, stacking, and route tracking occur without interruption. Compact and lightweight, it integrates easily into automated systems, improving safety, reducing misreads, and enhancing warehouse productivity.
