Slot and label sensors detect objects that pass between two arms—one with the emitter and the other with the receiver. The fixed slot width provides reliable opposed-mode sensing of objects as small as 0.30 mm. This makes slot sensors ideal for counting, sensing parts on conveyor rails and belts, detecting edges, and other applications.
Label sensors feature slots that are just wide enough for labels to pass through. They are designed to reliably detect either the labels or their backing for use in labelling equipment. These rugged, high-speed sensors have a response speed of up to 40µs (12.5 kHz switching frequency) for increased position accuracy.
Banner’s BCS1 Miniature Slot Sensor delivers fast, reliable sensing, combining an opposed mode emitter and receiver in one cost-efficient, space-saving design.
This rugged metal sensor detects objects that pass between the opposed-mode emitter and receiver. Easy to mount, the SLM features powerful optics with a small effective beam.
The SL10 and SL30 are fixed-distance slot sensors with 10mm- and 30mm-wide sensing slots, respectively. They are easy to mount and feature a small, effective beam sensor.
The SLE10 Expert and SLE30 Expert are teachable fixed-distance slot sensors with 10mm- and 30mm-wide sensing slots, respectively, and fast response time.
The SLE3 is a compact sensor device that is optimized to detect adhesive labels affixed to a roll of backing paper.
The SLU4 is an ultrasonic sensor device that is ideal for detecting and counting transparent labels.
The SLE5 is a rugged, industrial label sensor for single-layer and multilayer label detection. It has an IP65 rating for harsh environments, and it offers flexible mounting options.
