The innovative optics of the retro-reflex sensors generate a continuous, homogenous laser light band. Therefore, the light band sensor is capable of monitoring a significantly larger range than a light barrier with a dot-shaped light spot. Thanks to the enlarged scanning area, objects with various shapes and sizes can be simply and effectively detected. Several sensors or light curtains and laborious programming work have been required thus far to this end.
Application examples:
• Precise front edge detection of poly bags in conveyor technology
• Detection of pallets in the field of logistics
• Detection of packages on conveyor belts
• Detection of lattice structures as homogeneous surfaces
• Position-independent detection of small parts in handling and assembly technology
• Ejection control
