It is reported that difficult shapes, flat
or transparent objects that have
previously defied reliable detection
can now be seen clearly with the new
MultiLine photoelectric sensor from
Sick UK. The MultiLine ensures a
stable and continuous detection signal
from the leading to the trailing edge
of a product, even when surfaces are
glossy, flat, or contoured, such as
shrink or vacuum packed palletised
goods in warehouses.
The Sick MultiLine uses innovative twin light-beam technology for consistent detection of difficult objects that single beam sensors frequently fail to detect. The sensor's design reduces the risk of machine downtime by eliminating false signals.
The MultiLine detection phase starts when both lines detect the object and detection stops when both no longer signal the object, from leading edge to leaving edge. No complex software is required to reduce and suppress false signals.
Greater object throughput is possible, as objects may be placed on the belt with smaller gaps between them.
