Reliable detection of irregular product edges

The exact detection of product edges in the packaging process avoids collisions. Irregular product shapes present a huge challenge here. Single light beams alone can easily miss irregular edges, which can lead to faulty packaging. The MLG-2 Prime automation light grid or the Reflex Array (RAY26) multiTask photoelectric sensor reliably detects even flat and small objects, even if they are shaped like wedges, pillows, or pockets.

Following product families can be used
Reflex Array

RAY10: 25 mm-high light array, detects objects ≥ 5 mm
RAY26: 55 mm-high light array, three variants, detects objects ≥ 3 mm, ≥ 5 mm or ≥ 10 mm
Display for predictive maintenance on the sensor; transmits maintenance signals to the PLC via IO-Link
Conveyor belt suppression for RAY26
