Description
1. Photoelectric Sensors
Photoelectric sensors detect objects using a light beam. They are widely used for non-contact detection on conveyor lines.
Features:
-
Long sensing range
-
Fast response time
-
Suitable for transparent, reflective, and opaque objects
Common Uses:
Package detection, carton counting, item positioning
2. Proximity Sensors (Inductive & Capacitive)
Inductive Proximity Sensors
-
Detect metal objects only
-
Ideal for harsh industrial environments
Capacitive Proximity Sensors
-
Detect metal and non-metal materials (plastic, wood, liquid, powder)
Common Uses:
Pallet detection, metal part sensing, position confirmation
3. Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors measure distance using sound waves and are unaffected by color, transparency, or surface finish.
Features:
-
Accurate distance measurement
-
Reliable in dusty or humid environments
Common Uses:
Height detection, spacing control, level sensing on conveyors
4. Encoder Sensors
Encoders monitor conveyor speed, direction, and position by converting motion into electrical signals.
Features:
-
High accuracy
-
Supports closed-loop control
Common Uses:
Speed monitoring, length measurement, synchronization of conveyor sections
5. Safety Sensors
Safety sensors ensure operator protection and system compliance with industrial safety standards.
Types Include:
-
Safety light curtains
-
Emergency stop sensors
-
Safety interlock switches
Common Uses:
Access protection, emergency shutdown, operator safety
Key Benefits
-
Improves conveyor efficiency and accuracy
-
Reduces manual intervention
-
Enhances workplace safety
-
Supports automation and Industry 4.0 integration
-
Reliable performance in industrial conditions
