Retrofitting for Pallet Detection
Challenge
When replacing sensors to detect the presence of pallets on a conveyor, it's important to keep costs down and maintain a high level of accuracy in a pallet detection application.
Solution
WORLD-BEAM QS18 Universal Voltage sensors are mounted along a conveyor to detect the presence and position of passing palets. These sensors can be connected to either AC or DC power, allowing them to operate in large conveyor applications already using AC power without requiring a separate power supply.
In addition to the universal voltage, this sensor also has a popular 18 mm barrel shape, multiple mounting options, and a rugged IP67 housing to withstand harsh environments.
Having multiple power and mounting options in a single sensor allow for a quick and easy retrofit on the line.
