Detecting labels using a UV light source

Detecting labels using a UV light source

The MVS-PM-R vision sensor detects the presence of labels by using LED lighting with a UV light source to make labels glow blue if a fluorescent component is present.
The blue glow from the fluorescent component means white labels that look the same as white backgrounds can be detected.

Presence of Transparent Lids

Presence of Transparent Lids

The CVSE1 easy color area sensor can be used for verifying the presence of lids on transparent containers such as for pudding.
