LineSpot technology

The LineSpot technology ensures perforated, textured, and uneven objects can be reliably detected.

LineSpot technology | Single Line: The LineSpot technology offers a high detection reliability for perforated, structured and uneven objects. The light spot, which has been extended to form a line, allows optical information to be provided about irregularities, such as gaps or rough surfaces.

LineSpot technology | Double Line: Objects with openings and recesses such as printed circuit boards or uneven, reflective objects such as yogurt containers are effortlessly and safely detected by the Double Line sensor. Two logically and intelligently linked photoelectric proximity sensors with background suppression in a single device form two line-shaped light spots that ensure consistent detection results in a miniature housing.
