Reliable and accurate detection of opaque and translucent materials, or materials which color or appearance can change.
Objective:
A reliable and accurate detection of opaque and translucent materials like glass and plastic, or of materials which change in color or appearance between different production runs.
Solution:
Balluff's capacitive proximity sensors have sensing ranges up to 25mm and detect non-metallic materials independently of color, texture, or labeling. This is because the capacitive sensor technology works solely on elementary material properties of the target object. This approach offers a reliable and easy applicable solution for conveyor systems and other types of material handling equipment.
