Motor Detection

As motors move along the manufacturing line, it is vital that components are installed properly at every stage of production to ensure accuracy of the final product. When palettes move down the conveyor, position information is gathered so palettes index to the next location correctly.

After palettes are detected, it is important that the motor casing, called a motor stator, is detected to ensure accurate placement for the next step of manufacturing. High performing, durable sensors are needed to withstand an industrial, rugged environment for detection of the palette and motor stator.

The robust housing of Banner’s powerful TM18 sensor is ideal for machine assembly and transport, preventing damage to the sensor while providing extremely accurate, reliable detection with opposed mode sensor pairs. Banner’s TM18 is rated to IP69K with a nickel-plated, die-cast zinc design, providing heavy-duty protection to the sensor in an industrial, automotive environment.

The TM18 Series, with a right angle shape and 18 mm threaded barrel mount, easily fits into limited space setups for simple installation on the manufacturing line. The extremely bright LED emitter also makes alignment to the receiver quick and easy.

Multiple modes are available, including fixed field and diffuse for enhanced immunity to fluorescent lighting, and opposed and polarized retroreflective modes for maximum sensing reliability. Additionally, the TM18 sensor is available with four-wire NPN/PNP output models or threewire I/O block compatible outputs.
