Polybag leading edge detection
When sending small parts, it is becoming increasingly common to use polybags in order to optimize the transport volumes and costs. These present great challenges to conveying systems, in particular singulation and accumulation conveyors, because it is necessary to precisely determine their leading edge. This is required to guarantee the object separations required by downstream processes. The light strips of reflex array photoelectric sensors offer the optimal solution for this application.

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