Soda Can Flow Control
Challenge
To signal the machine control when cans are absent, using a time delay to filter out gaps between the cans
Solution
The Q60 background-suppression sensor detects when the flow of cans has stopped and signals the machine control that manages processes further down the line. The timing delay feature prevents the Q60 from sending the signal when it senses a small gap between cans.
