Checking the Arrangement of Labels and the Presence of Imprints in the Packaging Process via Versatile Contrast Sensors
During confectionery production, conveyors transfer sealed cartons to the labeling station. A contactless sensor is needed for:
• Detecting the labels' alignment
• Confirming the presence of print markings as cartons leave the station
• Declining any inappropriate cartons
What kind of sensor can better help in this field?
A photoelectric contrast sensor is appropriate for this application.
Where is this sensor mounted?
The sensor is mounted near the conveyor, just after the applicator.
How is its set-up accomplished?
Either by using a three-button keypad on the sensor or via IO-Link.
The function of this sensor:
This sensor and a single-lens autocollimator work together, delivering a narrow optical beam and identifying small items.
The sensor turns on when each carton's label passes the detection point. With the sensor's alarm, the cartons with misaligned or the print markings missing are sent to the holding zone.
Features of this sensor:
• Easy positioning due to adjustable mounting brackets
• An optimal sensing range
• A compact, vigorous miniature PBTB housing
• Connection to the customer's control system through a PVC sheathed cable with a choice of an integrated M12 connector or hermetically sealed entry
