Seal detection for small pieces in the film seals

Seal detection for small pieces in the film seals

The Z3T-2500NIR is the infrared LED type photoelectric sensor that can detect small pieces in film seals in the pancake packaging process.
Its IR LEDs have stronger penetrating power than red LEDs, so the sensors ensure accurate detection of small pieces through package films. The sensors are also contamination-resistant, reducing the frequency at which they need to be cleaned.

Model: Amplifier Built-in Sensor  Z3T-2500NIR




Detecting Presence of Cookies and Pass/Failure

Detecting Presence of Cookies and Pass/Failure

The BGS-HDL C-MOS laser sensor can detect the presence of cookies and whether they pass or fail.
With the BGS-HDL, there are two control outputs so the presence of cookies can be detected using output 1 and whether they pass or fail can be detected by the height difference using output 2. You can reduce the number of sensors from 2 to 1 using the BGS-HDL.

Model: High-resolution C-MOS Laser Sensor  BGS-HDL Series




Presence Detection of Glossy and Transparent Pouches

Presence Detection of Glossy and Transparent Pouches

The BGS-HDL series enables detection of thin food pouches with high gloss.
The FGS mode of the BGS-HDL series ensures stable detection even with transparent pouches, glossy pouches or those with color patterns, and thin pouches. In FGS mode, if the light is reflected from anything other than the background, detection is positive.
Because output is enabled even when laser reception is not possible, stable detection is possible even for highly glossy targets and transparent targets.

Model: C-MOS laser BGS sensor  BGS-HDL Series




Detecting existence of glass plates in the rack

Detecting existence of glass plates in the rack

Limited reflective type fiber cable NF-DC06 can detect each glass plate in the rack.
