Fill level monitoring in the step feeder
<p>The fill level of the feeder bowl in a vibration conveyor must be monitored to prevent it from running empty. Using an ultrasonic sensor, the bowl is viewed from above. Once the minimum fill level has been reached, there is either an automatic refill, or the operator receives a message.</p>
<p>Ultrasonic sensors are particularly well suited for small shiny parts, e.g. screws and electronic components. This sensor can be configured quickly and easily via IO-Link, especially the switching output.</p>
