Some examples of these physical parameters are pressure, light intensity, temperature, and movement. The output of an electrical sensor is an analog or digital signal. This signal is transmitted to hardware for the required processing. Browse our wide selection of Sensors Types products category with the highest quality. Sensors Types …

Summary During semi-automated heat staking of assemblies for domestic white goods, manufacturers use light curtains to preserve operator safety without compromising production throughput. The active optoelectronic protective device (AOPD), mounted directly in front of each bench-mounted heat-press, prevents the press-head from descending if it detects any intrusion in the working area, halting the operating cycle immediately. Application Heat-staking is a popular process for fasteni …

IssuePlastic containers, filled with liquid food products, are hermetically sealed at a Portuguese food-processing plant. Prior to containers being capped and packed in bulk, in-line testing confirms that each one has been correctly sealed. A long-distance inductive sensor, positioned directly over the packaging line, senses the presence of an aluminum-foil seal over the top of each container.DescriptionAluminum-foil closures are commonly utilized as seals for plastic containers filled with must …

What is the issueDuring secondary packaging of bags of confectionery, manufacturers arrange bags in overlapping layers. Multi-axis pick-and-place packing robots align and pack layers of bags in preformed cardboard cartons. The filled cartons are conveyed to case-sealing stations. A highly reliable photoelectric sensor, mounted directly above the conveyor, senses the height of the top layer of bags in each carton before sealing and rejects insufficiently filled cartons.How it worksIn the food pro …
