SENSING SOLUTIONS CLEAR CHOICE FOR TRANSPARENTS
29 October 2012
Difficult shapes, flat or transparent objects that have previously defied reliable detection can now be seen clearly with new sensing solutions...
that Sick UK is due to launch at the PPMA Show.
Sick has developed the new MultiLine sensor to ensure a stable and continuous detection signal from the leading to the trailing edge of a product, even when surfaces are glossy, flat, or contoured.
The MultiLine’s twin light-beam technology consistently detects low-profile, uneven or glossy product surfaces for example, vacuum foil coffee packs, wrapped chocolate bars or soup sachets. The sensor’s design reduces the risk of machine down - time by eliminating false signals, leading to improved productivity.
Sick’s W27-3 MultiPac is a singleunit optical sensor which operates without the need for reflectors. It copes consistently in applications where other sensors would provide fluctuating or unreliable signals. The MultiPac therefore promises to improve handling efficiency and productivity in operations where highly efficient checking and control is required, for example detecting PET-foil six packs or shrink-wrapped transparent bottles or pallets.
In a show special, visitors to the Sick stand are being offered a free Inspector vision sensor, or a free first annual support contract for any new SICK Inspector SystemsPlus installation and support package initiated at the show. Stand A50
