Up For A Challenge
02 November 2012
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.
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 innovative design reduces the risk of machine downtime by eliminating false signals, leading to improved productivity.
Glossy or dark surfaces, low profiles without obvious starts or finishes, textures, uneven and contoured outlines, can all be detected by reliably eliminating false signals to improve productivity.
