Presence and Position Check of Labels for Hygiene Products with Ultrasonic Fork Sensor
When manufacturing care products, labels must be applied to the packaging at high speed. Before application, the labels are fed to products on transparent carrier materials. An ultrasonic fork sensor detects whether the labels have been correctly positioned on the carrier foil. These labels can be different colors, dark, transparent, printed and very thin. Between 120 and 160 labels are recorded per minute. This ensures that labels are applied quickly and without error.
Fork Sensors for Label Detection
Ultrasonic fork sensors detect labels on any carrier material regardless of color, transparency or surface quality. The label on the carrier material attenuates the ultrasound more strongly than the carrier material itself; a small gap is sufficient for differentiation. The setting is made via the teach-in key.
