Object detection in secondary packaging

Key benefits

• Efficient detection for standard applications
  Entry‑level photoelectric sensors reliably detect carton presence before closing or sealing, ensuring that empty or misfed cartons are identified early in the process.

• High performance for case packers
  Advanced optical sensors enable fast and accurate detection of products, groups or layers in case packing applications, even at high throughput and with challenging surfaces.

• Reliable detection where optics are not suitable
  Ultrasonic sensors provide consistent presence detection regardless of color, transparency or surface finish, making them ideal for mixed, reflective or irregular packaging.

• Improved line stability and reduced downtime
  Reliable object detection prevents empty cartons, incomplete cases and machine stops, supporting continuous and predictable secondary packaging operations.

• Flexible and scalable sensor concept
  The combination of entry‑level, advanced optical and ultrasonic technologies allows packaging machines to scale from basic carton detection to high‑performance case packing without redesign.
