Detecting Clear Packaging Trays on Automated Packaging Lines via Transparent-Object Sensors with Patented UV Technology
During the automated packaging of medical products, conveyors transfer clear plastic trays to filling stations. Special sensors are required to detect the transparent plastic targets reaching the filling station. Standard photoelectric sensors, which use visible red light, proved inappropriate because they can't differentiate between "tray present" and "tray not present" situations.
What's the best solution for this challenge?Miniaturized transparent-object sensors with patented UV technology allow the loading cycle to be carried out without the risk of stopping the flow.
The features of these sensors:
•Cubic form
•Simple mounting due to adjustable mounting brackets
•Simple installation due to custom-designed UV reflectors which offer different geometries and sizes
•Strong construction
•Housings with M8 connectors
•Reliable operation
•Sensing range: up to 1200 mm
•Little or no need for manual intervention
•Cost-effectiveness

Storage of sensitivity parameters data:
These parameters are saved in the sensor's memory. They can be remotely retrieved or updated through IOLink. This eliminates the demand for manual adjustment.
Note: A normally open industry-standard PNP output warrants the best flexibility. Furthermore, IO-Link is enabled on PNP versions at no further cost. Another output sounds an alarm if sensitivity decreases.
Note: These sensors' sensing range is adjustable through the teach button or IOLink and adjusts for various tray sizes.
