Presence Check of Steel Coils with Ultrasonic Distance Sensors
Presence Check of Steel Coils with Ultrasonic Distance Sensors
In the metalworking industry, steel coils are unwound and processed continuously. To ensure a continuous material and process flow, an ultrasonic distance sensor is mounted above the rollers. This reliably measures the distance between the sensor and the material and thus determines the coil size and the remaining quantity on the roll. Adverse ambient conditions such as dust or oil mist, ambient light and dark or shiny surfaces do not affect the measurement data accuracy.

Fill-level Measurement of Potato Chip Rejects with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Fill-level Measurement of Potato Chip Rejects with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Leftovers are created during the production of potato chips. These rejects are transported to a waste container along a feed screw. There are four flaps to ensure that the container is filled evenly. Ultrasonic distance sensors with analog output are installed next to the flaps and are used to check the fill level of the container. When the mound of rejected potato chip reaches the maximum height, the sensor switches and the flap is closed. The next flap then opens. Dust and damp surfaces have no impact on the switching behavior of the sensors in the M30 housing.

Film Tear and Fill Level Monitoring in Packaging Systems with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Film Tear and Fill Level Monitoring in Packaging Systems with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Colorful, glossy or transparent films are used in packaging plants to ensure that products are airtight and securely packed. These are conveyed by rolls and attached around the objects. Ultrasonic distance sensors monitor the roll diameter to ensure continuous material flow. Two independent switching outputs signal when there is little film left on the roll and when the roll is empty and needs to be replaced. In addition, the sensor checks whether the film is open or torn.

Stack Height Monitoring on Packaging Magazines with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Stack Height Monitoring on Packaging Magazines with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Different colored cartons in packaging systems are stacked on top of each other in magazines before being unfolded and filled in downstream processes. In order to ensure a continuous material supply, the stacking height of the magazine is checked by an ultrasonic distance sensor. This sensor records the measured values either continuously via IO-Link or with two switching points so that the magazine can be refilled in good time. Thanks to the wide sonic cone, recesses, gaps or punches have no influence on object sensing.

Fill-Level Measurement in a Storage Container with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Fill-Level Measurement in a Storage Container with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
In the automotive industry, primer liquids are used as a primer for plastic parts in storage containers at production plants. From these storage containers, the material is automatically supplied to the machines. To ensure the minimum fill level, the level in the containers must be monitored. For this purpose, an ultrasonic distance sensor with stainless steel housing is inside the container, which detects surfaces regardless of structure, color or gloss level. If the fill level falls below a defined level, the sensor switches and the ball valve must be opened for filling.

Slack Monitoring on Sheet Metal Belts with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Slack Monitoring on Sheet Metal Belts with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Continuous material supply must be ensured in punching machines. As a material buffer, the supplied metal sheets are guided through the system in the form of a hanging loop. This compensates for the time delay between replenishment and the production processes. To monitor this process, an ultrasonic distance sensor is installed above the loop. It checks whether the sag falls below the minimum value or touches the ground. Ultrasonic measurement is not affected by even very shiny plates and dirt such as oil mist or dust.

Position Detection of Crates in Spin Dryers via Ultrasonic Sensors
Position Detection of Crates in Spin Dryers via Ultrasonic Sensors
In the food industry, crates are dried in spin dryers after cleaning. In order for the water to drain completely out of the crates, they must be oriented with the bottom facing upwards. The ultrasonic distance sensor mounted above the conveyor line detects the passing boxes regardless of their color, shape or mesh size. If the sensor detects a box that is on the conveyor with the bottom facing downwards, it is rejected in the next step.

>
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.
