Punched electrical contacts are belt-fed as material in an assembly machine. To monitor the flow of material, the open belt material must be detected in a functionally reliable manner. The O-21 series retro reflective sensor has a large light spot which suppresses holes and breaks.
Product Recommendation
O-21 Miniature
The very small and efficient light barriers and sensors in the O-21 miniature series with IO-Link can be easily integrated. The retroreflective sensors with background suppression are suited for detecting small and flat objects. The retroreflective sensors feature a high functional reserve.
