Target Applications

Mail Sorting for Size

Objective:
To separate air mail letters from parcels in an automated airfreight operation

Description:
Three QS18 opposed mode sensors above the roller conveyor detect any passing object, triggering the horizontal QS18 sensor. Letters pass below the horizontal QS18 undetected and are diverted to the letter conveyor. Parcels are detected and continue forward.
