Detecting the Cans in Cardboard Boxes Using an Analog Inductive Sensor

During manufacturing of canned products, sensors are needed in the packaging department to test that closed cartons have the desired range of cans inside.  

  The selected solution ought to be capable of addressing the whole canned merchandise in the producer’s delivery range, including cans in different materials and sizes. This isn't feasible with a usual on-off switching sensor output. The verification process ought to additionally be included into a fast-moving automated packaging and pre-shipment line, immediately rejecting or accepting each carton.

Analog inductive sensors are perfect for this application. Their Condist® oscillator technology guarantees notable environmental stability –particularly to temperature – and so provides working distances up to 3 times the usual. The more distance permits them to achieve a very good signal not only through several layers of cardboard, but also from various conductive metals at different distances, relying on the type of the can.

By mounting these sensors, both layers of cans in every carton can be checked thru the box.

 

Size M30 is selected to yield the finest sensing distance for the project parameters.

 Resolution is in the µm variety and repeat accuracy is excellent. The solution is dependable, long-lasting, adaptable, and with easy installation.
