Switching from lengthwise to transverse transport

The RAY26 Reflex Array MultiTask photoelectric sensor reliably detects leading edges during the lengthwise transport of curved wooden boards. Transverse transport is introduced as soon as the MLG-2 Prime measuring automation light grid detects the boards at the stop of this conveyor belt.

  • Following product families can be used
    The photoelectric sensor with the 2D light array: multifaceted and economical
