TIME IS MONEY Very high machine speeds, and therefore processes which the human eye cannot follow, are the special challenges which sensors must meet when used in filling machines. The fact that beverages are now mostly filled into highly-transparent and new glass and PET products, which must be reliably detected by the sensor system, does not make the job any easier. The demand for production processes which produce minimum faults without system downtimes creates strict requirements on the sensor system. Predominately used in wet areas, the sensors must be sealed against moisture and withstand the...
