Solutions for Leading Edge Detection

What is Leading Edge Detection? What is Leading Edge Detection? On equipment that moves a product, container, or package, sensors are used to detect the movement or presence of these items to make critical decisions. Specifically, these applications rely on detecting the leading edge of the item as quickly and as accurately as possible. Challenges of Leading Edge Detection Types of Containers/Packaging Trends in packaging have migrated from boxes to more challenging targets. Polybags, Blister packs, envelopes, totes, and tubes are all commonly transported on conveyor lines and can have...

Single-Point Leading Edge Detection Small and Flat Object Leading Edge Detection Wide-Beam Leading Edge Detection Through the Roller Leading Edge Detection Robust Array Leading Edge Detection

Choosing a Banner Sensor Choosing the right sensor can reduce errors caused by product jamming, overlapping, side-by side, and irregular shaped packages. Single-Point Leading Edge Detection Small and Flat Object Leading Edge Detection Wide-Beam Leading Edge Detection Cost-effective yet powerful, these compact sensors detect boxes, totes, and many other objects. Short response time and large detection area creates an accurate solution for very small or flat objects. Wide sensing beam detects items like pallets, polybags, or other irregularly shaped objects.

Through the Roller Leading Edge Detection Robust Array Leading Edge Detection An improved solution for roller conveyors, this sensor mounts easily between rollers, detecting a variety of objects. Heavy-duty sensor bar suitable for tough environments such as sorter chutes and roller conveyors.

Single-Point Leading Edge Detection • Lowest cost solution • Sufficient for many targets • Used on conveyors with rails on the sides • obust sensing solution that only requires R power on one side of the conveyor • olarization assures reliable detection of highly P reflectiv
