Area Detection Sensors

Sensors that detect targets within a wide area are commonly used for leading-edge detection or pick-to-light applications. Banner solutions include both individual wide-beam sensors and arrays that combine multiple sensors to create a comprehensive detection field. Different resolutions exist to detect objects of varying size—some sensors and sensor arrays can reliably see objects as small as 5.6 mm or extremely flat objects such as envelopes. By incorporating area-detection sensors, users can detect targets that break sensor beams at any angle.
