Cotton buds, scented sprays, washing powder, detergents or packages of nappies and diapers – the tasks in the hygiene article (or consumer good?) industry vary greatly. SICK’s professional solutions for secondary and final packaging are particularly important here. Differing product sizes and packages require machines with maximum flexibility and a wide range of intelligent and network-enabled sensors. You can develop efficient packaging plants throughout all the processes of this sector with laser systems and camera sensors from SICK.
Identifying transparent objects (e.g. PET bottles), coping with contamination, detecting positions in the process, and all of this at high speeds – the robust sensors from SICK have been “at home” in rotative filling systems for decades and offer correspondingly optimised performance.
Tubes are practical and particularly robust containers for semi-liquid goods. Tubes carry a wide variety of brand messages to consumers. The industrial filling and sealing processes involve a variety of tasks for sensors, e. g. turning tubes to the correct position. Sensors from SICK keep everything in view and under control.
Attaching small, thin labels and reliably checking them, even if they are strongly reflective: photoelectric switches and photoelectric proximity switches provide the necessary sensitivity to allow them to shine in labelling machines – reliably at maximum work speeds.
Differing package shapes and sizes, the handling of packaging materials including protection of hazardous points-of-operation, ensuring material flow, differing reading distances for ID carriers: those who develop plants for industrial final packaging face a wide variety of tasks. Then there are the quality demands: the goods must arrive to customers in perfect condition. It is good to know that there is a partner that offers the sensors, safety and bar code reading systems from a single source: SICK, the solution for final packaging plants of all types.
