Identifying transparent objects, such as PET bottles, coping with contamination, detecting positions at high speeds – sensors from SICK have been optimizing performance in rotative filling systems for decades.
Composite cartons have proven to be ideal for liquids due to their ability to retain nutritional values, in addition to being economical. From detecting the box... to correctly filling the packaging, sensor solutions from SICK ensure high throughput.
Secondary packaging with shrink foil has become firmly established in the beverage industry. SICK sensors easily handle final inspection, ensuring quality.
A pack of bottled beverages travel into the feed tunnel to be packed into boxes for shipping. A safety sensor reliably monitors the tunnel. Safety light curtains mounted at the package exit ensure point-of-operation safety. A bar code scanner reads the code on the box as it exits.
Photoelectric proximity sensors on accumulating conveyor systems monitor and control the material flow – single feed or block feed is possible. ATM60 multiturn encoders transfer the absolute positions of the robot’s individual turning axes to the controller.
