Leading Edge Detection Solutions

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. Automated systems use these sensor readings to make critical decisions. Specifically, these applications rely on detecting the leading edge of the item as quickly and as accurately as possible. Types of Leading Edge Detection 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...

Choosing a Banner Sensor Because applications and products vary significantly, there are numerous choices when it comes to leading edge detection. For best results, select a sensor that aligns with your specific needs. 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 Cost-effective yet powerful, these compact sensors detect boxes, totes, and many other objects. This sensor's short response time and large detection area creates an accurate solution...
