Detection of Holes

Retro-reflex sensors with light band detect objects with variable edges, shapes and sizes. Thanks to the continuous, homogeneous laser light band, the sensor monitors a much larger area than a light barrier with a dot-shaped light spot. The light band can also detect small or translucent parts.
 

The high-performance B60 smart camera carries out a wide range of industrial image processing tasks. The highly modular hardware platforms in combination with powerful machine vision software offer the computing power of a vision system in the housing of a smart camera.
 

Distance sensors are suitable for the detection, differentiation and measurement of objects using ultrasound. Different operating modes, such as synchronous, multiplex or through-beam mode, can be set via the display or centrally via IO-Link, and different output variants and formats enable a wide range of possible applications.

Vision sensors from the B50 series include numerous image processing functions for the automation industry. From simple presence checks to color and shape recognition, the counting and sorting of objects, these sensors are used for quality assurance – even in real time via Industrial Ethernet.

Vision systems solve complex image processing applications. They consist of up to 16 machine vision cameras with C mount lenses, external illumination and a machine vision controller. The right software offers numerous evaluation options and a wide range of interfaces make connectivity easier.

The contactless laser triangulation sensors work according to the angle measurement principle, which enables reliable and highly precise measurement in the close range up to 1,000 mm. The triangulation sensors deliver stable measured values regardless of color, shape, rough and textured surfaces.

Time-of-flight laser distance sensors (ToF) work according to the principle of transit time measurement, which means that they cover large working ranges up to 10,000 mm, so that objects can be reliably detected even at great distances. The ToF sensors are extremely robust against interfering ambient light, which ensures reliable operation.

Fiber-optic sensors use plastic or glass fiber-optic cables, which can also be used in hard-to-reach places due to their high flexibility. Plastic or glass fiber-optic cables are connected to fiber-optic sensors for use in applications with limited space or high temperatures.

Reflex sensors with background suppression detect and measure objects contactlessly and detect them in front of any defined background. They work with red light, infrared light, blue light or laser light. Thanks to the principle of angle measurement, the color, shape and object surface have no influence on the switching behavior of the sensors.
