Presence Check of Nails in Pallet Nail Machines by Inductive Ring Sensors
Presence Check of Nails in Pallet Nail Machines by Inductive Ring Sensors
In the manufacture of wooden pallets, automatic nailing machines are used to join the individual wooden parts. The nails required for the process are conveyed with compressed air through plastic hoses and then shot into the wood. Inductive ring sensors are installed at the ends of each hose to check that a nail has been shot through each hose and that the nail connection has been established correctly. Thanks to the separable housing, the sensor can be mounted at different points on the hose and thus individually adapted to the machine.

Distance Measurement for Material Replenishment of Magazines in Car Body Construction with Laser Distance Sensor Time-of-Flight
Distance Measurement for Material Replenishment of Magazines in Car Body Construction with Laser Distance Sensor Time-of-Flight
In automotive shell construction, body parts such as doors, tailgates or fenders are stored temporarily in magazines in a fully automated process. In order to monitor their presence, a stationary laser distance sensor time-of-flight is installed on the side of each carrier. Thanks to wintec, the sensor measures precisely even on shiny and highly reflective surfaces, including objects positioned at an angle. The measurement function thus enables objects to be counted so that upstream and downstream processes can be controlled without errors. There is no need for an analog card thanks to the integrated IO-Link interface. Related applications can be found here.

Distance Measurement for Part Removal from Carriers in Car Body Construction with Laser Distance Sensors Triangulation
Distance Measurement for Part Removal from Carriers in Car Body Construction with Laser Distance Sensors Triangulation
In automotive shell construction, body parts such as doors, tailgates or fenders are stacked in load carriers. Robots load and unload these carriers. To enable the robot to grip precisely, a laser distance sensor triangulation mounted on the gripper determines the distance to the first component that is removed. The robot’s lateral approach and gripping process are optimally controlled by the two independent switching outputs. Even on shiny surfaces, the sensor works very precisely with CMOS line images. Related applications can be found here.

Distance Measurement on Black MDF Boards with Laser Distance Sensors Time-of-Flight
Distance Measurement on Black MDF Boards with Laser Distance Sensors Time-of-Flight
MDF boards for furniture construction can have different colors and structures. In order to measure the distance to the black edges of the differently sized boards, a laser distance sensor time-of-flight with wintec is installed on the side of the conveyor belt. This measures the distance to the MDF boards from a great distance. Based on the analog measurement data, the robot knows the exact position and size of the boards and can pick them up and move them. Neither the black edge nor ambient interference such as dust, ambient light or chips influence the measurement result.

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.

Making Fluorescent Logos Visible with Dome Light
Making Fluorescent Logos Visible with Dome Light
To verify the authenticity of products, logos, specific features or QR codes are often printed directly onto the product or packaging with fluorescent ink. During production, the prints invisible to the human eye must be checked for presence and completeness. With the help of a camera-based system consisting of a dome light and a smart camera, all common UV prints can be made visible, read and verified for authenticity. Operator safety is also ensured as the dome and filter block all direct UV rays.

PCB Detection on Transport Modules with Fiber-Optic Amplifier and Several Fiber-Optic Cables
PCB Detection on Transport Modules with Fiber-Optic Amplifier and Several Fiber-Optic Cables
In the electronics industry, PCBs must be detected on transport modules at several stations in order to ensure safe transport. For this purpose, an angled fiber-optic cable with transmitter and receiver (barrier principle) is attached to the side of each station in the narrow side panels. The fiber-optic cables are operated using the multiplex method on a multi unit located outside the conveyor line. This communicates with the control system via the master. Mutual interference can thus be ruled out and reliable detection of the printed circuit boards at each individual station can be ensured.

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.
