Summary During high-speed production of retail items, a confectionery manufacturer conveys individual bags of candy to a pick-and-place packing robot for secondary packaging. A highly reliable diffuse-mode photoelectric sensor, mounted beside the conveyor, detects the presence of bags as they approach the packing station and inhibits the pick-and-place sequence if no bags are queued for packing. Application In the food-processing industry, consumer products generally require s …

Summary During high-volume production of confectionery, sealed cartons of bagged candy travel by conveyor to a labeling station. A versatile photoelectric contrast sensor, mounted beside the conveyor, checks the label alignment and confirms the presence of print markings as each carton leaves the labeling area. If a label is blank, illegible or wrongly positioned, the carton is diverted to a holding area for investigation. Application In the food-processing industry, packaged c …

Summary A German supplier of automated laboratory equipment for in-vitro diagnostics exploits the long operating distance and high resolution of analog Series 3#30 photoelectric sensors to detect the 1 mm signal bounces that indicate where the cap sits on the test-tube. Application A new machine has the job of placing test-tubes in racks. To achieve this, bulk fed test-tubes are placed separately on a conveyor and then pushed into the sample racks. It is crucial that the test-tubes …
