How can the occupancy of shelf compartments be reliably detected for shiny and black objects?
In automated racking systems and high-bay warehouses, reliable presence testing of load carriers is crucial for a smooth material flow. This becomes particularly challenging when the objects to be detected have complex surfaces – for example , shiny metal, round material or dark labels in an inclined position. Reliable detection despite difficult surfaces In the […]
How can distance measurement be reliably implemented on dark and reflective solar cells?
Precise distance measurement on dark and highly reflective solar cells poses challenges for many production plants. The article shows how blue laser triangulation sensors provide stable readings even on challenging surfaces, thus enabling reliable positioning in solar cell production.
