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.

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.

Detection of Baked Goods in Crates via Ultrasonic Sensor
Detection of Baked Goods in Crates via Ultrasonic Sensor
In the food industry, baked goods are transported in boxes through the various process steps. Before cleaning the boxes, it has to be ensured that there is no product left in the boxes. For this purpose, two ultrasonic distance sensors are installed next to each other above the conveyor belt, which emit ultrasonic waves and thus check the contents of the boxes. If baked goods are in a box, it is automatically ejected. The robust sensors in metric stainless steel housing with IP67 degree of protection reliably detect objects regardless of shape and color.

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).
