Wooden Panel Detection before Sawing Processes via Reflex Sensors with Background Suppression
Wooden Panel Detection before Sawing Processes via Reflex Sensors with Background Suppression
In the wood industry, wooden panels with different colors, shapes and surfaces are transported from one processing step to the next via chain conveyors. Several reflex sensors with background suppression mounted above the conveyor line ensure the presence of the panels. Due to the large detection range and the rectangular light spot, the sensor detects the object reliably even with varying surfaces, contrasts and structural changes such as moisture or perforations. Due to its insensitivity to dirt, the sensor is ideally suited for demanding industrial environments.

Presence Check of Wood Materials Using Reflex Sensors with Background Suppression
Presence Check of Wood Materials Using Reflex Sensors with Background Suppression
In the wood industry, not only wooden panels, but also materials such as wood fiber insulation boards must be reliably detected on the conveyor line. For this purpose, reflex sensors with background suppression are mounted on the side next to the conveyor line. Thanks to their large detection range, the sensors detect the continuous panels over the entire web width, while the large light spot masks out knots and structural changes in the wood. Background suppression also prevents possible interference from the sensor, such as reflective high-visibility vests or shiny systems.

Film Inspection of Tea Packaging with Fiber-Optic Sensors
Film Inspection of Tea Packaging with Fiber-Optic Sensors
In filling lines for tea bags, the packaging film must be reliably checked for adhesive residue before it is folded, glued and cut into the characteristic tea bag shape in the subsequent process. For this purpose, a fiber-optic sensor is used in through-beam mode. The emitter looks through the thin film from above while it is placed directly on the receiver and passed through under tension. Thanks to the pink light, colored and glossy films are also reliably inspected. The wide range of fiber-optic sensors and fiber-optic cables, including high-flex cables, enables reliable adaptation to changing conditions.

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.

Homogeneous Illumination of Gears with Bar Light for Pick-and-Place Application
Homogeneous Illumination of Gears with Bar Light for Pick-and-Place Application
In the production process of gears, the gears are gripped from the assembly line by a robot and placed on a fixture for further processing. In order for the robot to detect the presence and exact position of the gears, they must be sufficiently illuminated. To avoid restricting the robot’s range of movement, three bar lights are installed at a large distance from the work surface. Since the bar lights are longer than the field of view of the smart camera and overlap in their field of view, homogeneous illumination is guaranteed in both axes.

Quality Control of Injection Molded Parts with B60 Smart Camera
Quality Control of Injection Molded Parts with B60 Smart Camera
Plastic components must be precisely inspected for visual surface defects such as cracks, blisters or discoloration after the injection molding process. For this purpose, the components are removed from their mold by a robot and positioned in front of a B60 smart camera. With the help of a neural network, the recorded images are checked for faults such as over- or under-injection as well as cracks. The AI ensures greater stability under varying light and temperature conditions as well as different material batches.

Detection of Aluminum Lids for Coffee Capsules with Gloss Sensors
Detection of Aluminum Lids for Coffee Capsules with Gloss Sensors
When producing capsules for coffee machines, it is important to ensure that the pads are correctly sealed before the packaging process. The gloss sensors check whether different colored lids made of aluminum foil are correctly sealed on the coffee capsules. Thanks to their ability to distinguish glossy from matt objects, the sensors deliver reliable switching signals virtually independent of distance and color. They therefore enable a reliable distinction between glossy (aluminum foil) and matt (coffee powder) surfaces. Related applications can be found here.

Height and Width Control of Baked Goods with 2D/3D Profile Sensor
Height and Width Control of Baked Goods with 2D/3D Profile Sensor
When producing baked goods with chocolate glaze, the exact height and width of the baked goods must be determined for quality control purposes. For this purpose, a 2D/3D profile sensor with a large measuring range is installed above the conveyor belt, which measures all cookies with micrometer precision over the entire width of the line. The sensor in the stainless steel housing (IP69K protection class) transmits the 2D height profiles via a control unit (IPC) to the uniVision image processing software for evaluation. Any deviating pieces of biscuit are then ejected.

Position Monitoring of Robots in Block Storage Systems with Fork Sensors
Position Monitoring of Robots in Block Storage Systems with Fork Sensors
In a cube storage system, vessels such as containers, boxes or crates are stacked, stored and removed by robots and transported through the storage system. To monitor the position of the robots and the number of crossings passed, two fork sensors are installed between the wheels. During travel, the light beam of the light barrier is interrupted because the bar of the rail is between the fork arms of the sensor. At intersections, the web of the rail is interrupted, the light beam hits the receiver and registers the crossing. Related applications can be found here.

Safety Inspection of Robots by Laser Distance Sensors Time of Flight
Safety Inspection of Robots by Laser Distance Sensors Time of Flight
The distance between the robot and the rail system must be continuously monitored during automated storage and retrieval as well as transport of storage containers in block storage systems by robots. For this purpose, two laser distance sensors (time of flight) in miniature design are mounted at an angle of approx. 90° between the wheels for left/right and forward/reverse movement. The sensors continuously measure if the distance to the rail system is correct to ensure that the robot is fully and correctly positioned on the guide rail. Related applications can be found here.

Position Monitoring of the Running Wheels of Robots by Laser Distance Sensors Time of flight
Position Monitoring of the Running Wheels of Robots by Laser Distance Sensors Time of flight
In a block storage system, robots take over the transport of storage containers. To ensure precise movement of the robots on the rails of the storage system, two time-of-flight laser distance sensors are mounted between the wheels. During left/right movement, the sensors check that the wheels for forward/reverse movement are off the rail. Only then do they release the signal. At the same time, it is monitored whether the wheels are correctly and completely seated in the guide rail for the new direction of movement. If this is the case, the robot starts moving. 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).

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.
