Target Applications

Carton Detection

Objective:
To sense boxes anywhere across the width of a roller conveyor, when sensing is only possible from under the conveyor.

Description:
The optics of the S18 fixed-field sensor are ideal for sensing from below a conveyor. Excess gain is very high at the optimum sensing distance of about 25 mm, but is low at the lens. As a result, moderate amounts of dirt and dust falling on the lens don't affect sensor performance.
