Monitoring forklift arrival
Automatic sheet shutter control is possible by using through-beam type photoelectric sensor Z3T-2500NIR to detect the arrival of forklifts.
With stronger penetrating power than red LEDs, the built-in infrared LEDs offer higher resistant to dirt and reducing the frequency of cleaning.
Model: Through-beam type Amplifier Built-in Sensor (IR LED) Z3T-2500NIR
Detecting containers for powdered glass
The Fiber-Optic Sensors D4RF-TD can be used to detect the presence of containers filled with powdered glass.
When powders are being mixed in next processes, airborne powder can adhere to the optical surface of the sensor, decreasing the received light amount and resulting in malfunctions.
Ultra-high-speed Fiber-Optic Sensors D4RF-TD, however, equipped with two outputs, meaning output 2 can be used to detect decreases in the received light amount. This also allows for advance determination of when maintenance will be required, helping to reduce downtime.
