Application Notes

Leading Edge Detection
Sensors detect the leading edge of pallets, polybags, blister packs, envelopes, tubes, and a wide range of difficult to detect targets.

Shuttle Tote Positioning
The Q20 WORLD-BEAM Polarized Retro sensors are mounted on the rails of the multishuttles, to confirm that product stays within the safety zone and confirms a product is positioned correctly to avoid hanging off the “safe zone.” Q20 sensors are cost effective and accurately detect presence and placement, making them ideal for a warehouse environment. The compact size and ease of installation make the Q20 a robust product for these applications. The Q20 sensors have a distance range up to 4 m and the sensor functionality of noise immunity and cross-talk avoidance allows the operator to test the system before use.

Labeling Detection
In an application with limited space, the WORLD-BEAM Q20 sensor is easily positioned to verify the presence of a label before it is applied to the product.

Objects on a Conveyor
The WORLD-BEAM Q20 diffuse sensors are positioned above a conveyor line in an array pattern to detect the presence of objects on a high speed conveyor.

Load Station Pallet Detection
The WOLD-BEAM Q20 diffuse sensor is positioned to detect the presence of a pallet. Once the pallet is in place, an output signals the robot to begin loading.

Detecting Shiny, Unfinished Cans
Accurately detect reflective items without false sensing.
