Slack Monitoring on Sheet Metal Belts with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Slack Monitoring on Sheet Metal Belts with Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Continuous material supply must be ensured in punching machines. As a material buffer, the supplied metal sheets are guided through the system in the form of a hanging loop. This compensates for the time delay between replenishment and the production processes. To monitor this process, an ultrasonic distance sensor is installed above the loop. It checks whether the sag falls below the minimum value or touches the ground. Ultrasonic measurement is not affected by even very shiny plates and dirt such as oil mist or dust.

Monitoring Empty Trays at the Airport with Laser Distance Sensor Time-of-Flight
Monitoring Empty Trays at the Airport with Laser Distance Sensor Time-of-Flight
After being handed in at the airport luggage check-in counter, suitcases and bags are placed in plastic trays for further transport and transported via conveyor technology. This makes handling and identification of the objects easier. Before the suitcases are placed in the containers, it is important to ensure that the trays are properly emptied. To do this, a robot gripper turns the tray over. The laser distance sensor time-of-flight installed above it measures the distance to the underside of the objects. If the distance to the bottom of the tray is within the tolerance, the tray is released for refilling. Related applications can be found here.

2D Code
A 2D code, also known as a two-dimensional code, consists of a pattern of dark and light elements (bars, rectangles and squares with corresponding spaces in between) which are arranged in a 2D fashion. 2D codes have a more complex layout than 1D codes, and the technology required for acquiring and deciphering them is more complex as well as the scanner must always read the entire pattern depicted by the barcode in order to acquire and decipher 2D codes, and not just a horizontal line as is the case with 1D Codes. Two-dimensional codes contain more diverse information than one-dimensional codes, for example information for the identification of products, texts such as addresses, and delivery note numbers. In general, we differentiate within the 2D codes between the stacked codes (stacked code) and the matrix codes (DataMatrix code).
