Photoelectric Packaging Sensors

IRB-T115 Thru-Beam Photoeye

This thru-beam photoeye allows for non-contact, high-performance detection with an operating range of up to 115 feet. For long-range sensing needs and reliable performance, it’s a perfect match. Its dry NO/NC relay contacts allow it to integrate with an array of control systems and it provides a red alignment indicator to deliver rapid status feedback for an easier installation. With the kit, you can get everything you need — transmitter, receiver, protective hoods, and sunshield — to set up for smooth operation.

Color Packaging Sensors 

COLORMAX-1000 

This color sensor allows you to determine the presence of opaque targets that fall within the color thresholds you set. With the ability to recognize up to 15 colors, you can get more from your machine and ensure it keeps up with your facility’s needs. It also has a 20kHz sample speed to allow for rapid operation and identification, so it will never slow you down. When you need a color sensor for identifying colorful materials through the packaging production process, turn to our team.

Opacity Packaging Sensors 

OPAX1000 IR 

This opacity and turbidity sensor allows for high-speed, highly accurate verification of the opacity of containers. Because container packaging is often responsible for shielding the contents from the damaging effects of light, it’s critical to verify that the materials have proper opacity levels to function as intended. With its high-resolution analog output, user-friendly calibration sensor to allow for manual user sensitivity adjustment, and high detection speed with a 100-microsecond discrete output response, it’s the perfect choice for your production floor.

UV Packaging Sensors 

UVX Luminescence Sensor

Packaging labels, inks, and paper can have the presence of luminescent materials, and if you need to verify that a luminescent coating is present, you can rely on the UVX. This packaging sensor uses field-proven and patented technology to quickly detect the presence of UV luminescent materials and it has a long-range use that makes it the perfect match for production facilities. You can improve your productivity and automate various verification and detection tasks by choosing the right UV luminescence sensor for your needs — talk to our team today to see how this sensor can support you.
