Featured Application | QS18 Photoelectric
Clear and Reflective TargetsDetecting clear and reflective objects are some of the most challenging sensor applications. Light can burn through a target or be reflected away erratically, making accurate detection difficult.
-
Featured Application | VS8
Dark and Low Contrast TargetsDark objects are difficult to detect since they reflect very little light back to the sensor. In addition, black on black targets (low contrast between target and background) are especially challenging.
-
Featured Application
Multicolor PackagingIn packaging, targets often contain vibrant, multicolored graphics of varying reflectivity. Such varied targets can be difficult to detect reliably, especially when there are many color transitions.
-
Featured Application
High Speed ApplicationsMany applications, such as registration mark detection and high-speed part counting, require sensors with response speeds fast enough to reliably detect fast moving targets.

Smart Sensors for Every Challenge
Thanks to advancements in laser measurement technology, sensors can now reliably detect and measure more challenging targets (including clear, reflective, and low contrast targets) and can handle multiple inspection tasks with one sensor.
With IO-Link communication, it is becoming easier to track sensor performance, identify trends in inspection results, and even predict when maintenance is needed so that simple problems like a dirty lens can be fixed before sensor failure.
