Finished parts are moving down a conveyor and need to be counted. 

Part sensing with a diffuse mode sensor
Finished parts are moving down a conveyor and need to be counted.  The diffuse mode BOS 5K is mounted on one side of the conveyor due to space restrictions on the opposite side.  Each time a part comes into the preset sensing range, the output is turned on and the count in the controller is increased by one.

Part sensing with a background suppression sensor
Small component parts are moving down a conveyor and need to be counted.  The background suppression (BGS) BOS 5K sensor is installed above the conveyor due to space restrictions and is taught to see the parts, but not the conveyor.  Each time a part comes into the pre-selected sensing range, the output is turned on and the count in the controller is increased by one.

Part counting with a retro-reflective sensor
Packages are moving down a conveyor and need to be counted.  The retro-reflective mode BOS 5K is mounted on one side of the conveyor due to space restrictions on the opposite side.  The reflector is mounted across from the sensor, so the light can be reflected back properly to the receiver.  Each time a part blocks the light, the sensors output is turned on and the count in the controller is increased by one.

Part counting with a set of thru-beam sensors
Containers are moving down a conveyor and need to be counted.  The thru-beam BOS 5K sensors are mounted such that the emitter is on one side of the conveyor and the receiver is on the other side.  Each time a part blocks the light, the sensors output is turned on and the count in the controller is increased by one.
