Presence Check of Nails in Pallet Nail Machines by Inductive Ring Sensors
Presence Check of Nails in Pallet Nail Machines by Inductive Ring Sensors
In the manufacture of wooden pallets, automatic nailing machines are used to join the individual wooden parts. The nails required for the process are conveyed with compressed air through plastic hoses and then shot into the wood. Inductive ring sensors are installed at the ends of each hose to check that a nail has been shot through each hose and that the nail connection has been established correctly. Thanks to the separable housing, the sensor can be mounted at different points on the hose and thus individually adapted to the machine.

Width Measurement of Profiles with Glass Fiber Optic Light Curtains and Fiber-Optic Amplifiers
Width Measurement of Profiles with Glass Fiber Optic Light Curtains and Fiber-Optic Amplifiers
In the production of metal profiles, the presence and dimensions of the objects must be detected before a clamping device secures them in place. Profiles can be black, white, chrome, glossy or matt. Glass fiber optic light curtains based on the transmitter-receiver principle are used in confined spaces, together with a universal reflex sensor. The optical fibers are arranged in a single line to create a light band. The width is measured, the linear signal is output proportional to the glass fiber cover and the correct position is determined.

Spot Illumination for Robot-Guided Quality Inspection of Interior Parts
Spot Illumination for Robot-Guided Quality Inspection of Interior Parts
Before installing interior parts in passenger cars, the mounting elements must be checked for their presence and correct position. For this purpose, a smart camera with one spot light per side is mounted on a cobot. Due to the light weight and small size of the illuminations, they can be attached directly to the robotic arm. While the cobot scans the parts to be inspected, the spot lights provide precise illumination of the elements so that the camera can reliably detect each mounting element.

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).

2D Code Scanner
A 2D code scanner is a scanner which operates according to the principle of an image processing system. It is equipped with a CCD or a CMOS element plus an integrated illumination and scans (scanning) a defined surface area depending on the selected scanning range. Thus, it is capable of reading 1D and 2D codes omnidirectionally.
