Fill Level Monitoring of Packaged Food Products in Checkweighers with Retro-Reflex Sensors for Transparent Objects
Fill Level Monitoring of Packaged Food Products in Checkweighers with Retro-Reflex Sensors for Transparent Objects
In the food industry, goods that do not meet quality standards are sorted out into checkweighers and placed in containers after the weighing process. In order to check their fill level, a retro-reflex sensor for transparent objects is installed. The set, consisting of retro-reflex sensor and reflector, is aligned in such a way that the light beam is only permanently interrupted at a certain fill level. The sensor then switches and sends the signal to empty the container. Transparent objects made of glass, PET, laminated packaging or trays are reliably detected. Related applications can be found here.

Distance Calculation for Cheeses with Time-of-Flight Laser Distance Sensors
Distance Calculation for Cheeses with Time-of-Flight Laser Distance Sensors
During the production and processing of cheeses, the rind is removed in a robot-assisted process and the cheese is freshly coated. In order to determine the exact distance between the mounted tool and the object, a Time-of-Flight laser distance sensor in a stainless steel 316L housing is installed directly on the robot. The sensor is ideal for this purpose thanks to its low weight. For washdown areas, it is also essential to have a cleaning-agent resistant, leak-proof housing and IP69K degree of protection. Thanks to wintec, glossy and wet objects can also be reliably detected at an angle.

Small Part Detection on Aluminum Via Reflex Light Barrier
Small Part Detection on Aluminum Via Reflex Light Barrier
Before processing and filling large bottles, the bottles must be fitted with holders. For this purpose, the holders are fed into a metal rail after singulation and then mounted on the bottle neck. To reliably detect the presence of the holders on the metal rail, a reflex light barrier is used and taught in on the static machine part. As soon as the light beam is interrupted, the sensor reliably recognizes the holders despite the presence of openings and regardless of the color and shape.

Detection of Thin Wafer Slices Laser Distance Sensors Triangulation in Production Systems
Detection of Thin Wafer Slices Laser Distance Sensors Triangulation in Production Systems
During the production of multi-layer cookies, individual wafer slices are transported on conveyor belts before they are coated with cream and processed into a stacked cookie. Laser distance sensor triangulation precisely detects the position of the wafer slices and thus controls the material flow of the system. Thanks to the integrated jump detection, the wafer-thin slices, just one millimeter high, can also be reliably detected on the slightly fluctuating conveyor belt. Even if the sensor is misaligned, it does not need to be re-taught in, as it reacts to the jump.

Double Layer Control of Coffee Capsules Before Filling by Laser Distance Sensors Triangulation
Double Layer Control of Coffee Capsules Before Filling by Laser Distance Sensors Triangulation
When producing capsules for coffee machines, it must be ensured that only one capsule at a time is inserted into the trays of the multi-lane conveyor belt during filling. For this purpose, one precise laser distance sensor triangulation is used per track, which recognizes whether one or more capsules are positioned on top of each other. Eight sensors simultaneously check the eight tracks of the conveyor belt. Due to their material independence, CMOS sensors reliably switch to capsules of a wide range of colors – even on metallic, shiny capsules.

Leading Edge Detection of Soft Cheese with Through-Beam Sensors
Leading Edge Detection of Soft Cheese with Through-Beam Sensors
In the production of soft cheese, the wedge-shaped pieces of cheese are transported to the packing station on conveyor belts. In order to trigger the packaging process on a special bagging machine, to monitor the distance between the objects and to prevent jamming, the front edges of the cheese pieces must be reliably detected. For this purpose, a through-beam sensor is installed on the side in the stainless steel 316L housing with opposite receiver. Thanks to the cleaning agent-resistant and robust stainless steel housing with IP69K degree of protection, even high-pressure cleaning at up to 80 °C is possible.

Position Check of Loading Carts in the Food Industry with Energetic Reflex Sensors
Position Check of Loading Carts in the Food Industry with Energetic Reflex Sensors
Machines that can handle large quantities at once are used to crush and mix food in industrial production. When the mixing process is complete, the mixing trough tilts forward and empties the contents into one or more loading carts. Its exact position below the ejection point is detected by energetic reflex sensors in the ECOLAB-certified stainless steel housing and IP69K degree of protection. This is the only way to ensure that the contents are fully emptied into the containers without any spillage.

Detection of Red Plastic Boxes for Meat Products in a Washing Plant with Stainless Steel Retro-Reflex Sensors
Detection of Red Plastic Boxes for Meat Products in a Washing Plant with Stainless Steel Retro-Reflex Sensors
In meat production, meat and sausage products are transported in red plastic boxes on conveyor belts. After the packaging process, the empty boxes must be hygienically cleaned with high pressure and cleaning agents in special crate washing plants. To reduce water and energy consumption, the machine is only active when there is a box inside. For this purpose, a universal retro-reflex sensor with red light detects the incoming boxes. The robust sensor in stainless steel 316L housing with IP69K degree of protection is resistant to high-pressure cleaning and cleaning agents. Related applications can be found here.

>
2D Code
A 2D code, also known as a two-dimensional code, consists of a pattern of dark and light elements (bars, rectangles and squares with corresponding spaces in between) which are arranged in a 2D fashion. 2D codes have a more complex layout than 1D codes, and the technology required for acquiring and deciphering them is more complex as well as the scanner must always read the entire pattern depicted by the barcode in order to acquire and decipher 2D codes, and not just a horizontal line as is the case with 1D Codes. Two-dimensional codes contain more diverse information than one-dimensional codes, for example information for the identification of products, texts such as addresses, and delivery note numbers. In general, we differentiate within the 2D codes between the stacked codes (stacked code) and the matrix codes (DataMatrix code).

2D Code Scanner
A 2D code scanner is a scanner which operates according to the principle of an image processing system. It is equipped with a CCD or a CMOS element plus an integrated illumination and scans (scanning) a defined surface area depending on the selected scanning range. Thus, it is capable of reading 1D and 2D codes omnidirectionally.
