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 […]
Which type of light is the right one for my optical button?
Which type of light is suitable for which sensor application? Find out when red light, blue light, infrared, laser or ToF sensors are the best choice – for dark objects, long distances or difficult surfaces.
Reliable switching behavior of ultrasound probes on different surfaces
Ultrasonic sensors reliably detect transparent, dark or shiny packaging. Why they are ideal for changing materials in packaging and logistics.
Object detection and distance measurement through small openings – precise sensors in a confined space
Detecting or measuring objects through small openings places high demands on sensors. The article shows how laser-based reflex sensors with background suppression and laser distance sensors with an extremely narrow light spot can reliably detect objects or measure precise distances – even through holes, gaps or pipes just a few millimetres in size.
Efficient parts monitoring on conveyor belts
wenglor sensor solutions reliably monitor objects on conveyor belts. Light curtains and retro-reflex sensors detect standard parts and small objects and enable precise process control.
How can a car door be reliably detected over a distance of 6.5 m without a reflector and with laser class 1?
wenglor laser distance sensors with wintec-DS technology detect car doors over a distance of 6.5 meters reliably, colour-independently, without a reflector and safely in accordance with laser class 1.
How can objects on narrow conveyor belts be reliably detected?
Uns hat die Anfrage erreicht, wie die Objekterkennung auf schmalen Förderbändern im Bereich der Zufuhrtechnik gelingen kann, wenn Bauraum, Förderbreite und Objektlage besondere Anforderungen an die Sensorik stellen. Die konkrete Herausforderung In der beschriebenen Applikation sollen weißmatte Kunststoffteile mit einer Höhe von ca. 30 mm sicher erkannt werden. Die Teile werden vereinzelt über einen Wendelförderer […]
Precise sensor technology for secondary packaging
wenglor shows how sensor solutions reliably detect cartons, boxes and transparent objects in secondary packaging and thus ensure process reliability.
Precise object detection on conveyor belts
Conveyor belts are a central element in industrial automation. They transport products continuously through the various process steps. Precise detection of the objects is necessary for downstream stations to work reliably. Products with shiny or colored surfaces that are in motion and have to be detected against changing backgrounds are particularly challenging. The challenge of […]
How can colored pencils be reliably detected?
The P1KL002 retro-reflex sensor reliably detects colored fineliners and colored pencils – quickly, compactly and regardless of color or surface.
