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 for counting, sensing parts on conveyor rails and belts, detecting edges, labeling, and other applications.
Individual sensors and arrays combining multiple sensors can be used to detect targets within a wide area. These sensor solutions are commonly used for leading-edge detection, pick-to-light applications, or verifying the presence of objects that pass by at varying angles.
The Sensor Selection Guide briefly explains Banner’s array of sensing technologies, and helpful flowcharts make it easy to find the right sensor for any application.
