Q60 Background Suppression Sensor

Baking is a mixture of creativity, precision and attention to detail. The Wilkinson Baking Company has added technical innovation to the mix. The Wilkinson Bread Bakery is a compact, completely self-contained and fully automated bread bakery. This unique machine combines technology with tradition to transform simple raw ingredients into bakery fresh bread at 40 loaves an hour.

The Q60 background-suppression sensor detects when the flow of cans has stopped and signals the machine control that manages processes further down the line. The timing delay feature prevents the Q60 from sending the signal when it senses a small gap between cans.

Occasionally, work stations and conveyors do not have the space available to mount sensors close to the material they intend to detect. In these scenarios, a solution is needed that can detect small items from a long distance.
