Applications

Part Flaw Detection

To verify an electronic component like that shown, an image of a good part was captured using an iVu Series sensor configured for a Match inspection. If the sensor detects a part with a bent or missing connector, or if the part is wrong side up, the sensor sends a fail output to the line, and the part is rejected.

Hard Disk Detection

Because disk surfaces are shiny, many sensors have difficulty detecting whether a hard disk is properly seated in a hard drive. Banner Engineering’s Q3X and Q4X sensors are designed to detect shiny surfaces with a wide variety of colors, textures, and materials.

Adhesive Bead Detection

The D10 Expert sensor, with the fiber optic sensing tip positioned near where the robot applies the adhesive, verifies that adhesive is applied to the IC chips. Opposed pairs of VS2 sensors detect when the level of filled wafer trays exceeds a preset height.

Lower-Risk Machine Guarding: Chip Shooter

The Type 2 EZ-SCREEN safety light screen guards the opening to a chip shooter, which has moving parts that can cause painful but usually temporary injuries.

Counting Memory Sticks

As memory sticks used in digital devices pass on a conveyor, the WORLD-BEAM Q12 counts the sticks by detecting the slight difference in height between the stick and the conveyor belt.

Counting Integrated Circuits

In order to detect these chips as they move down the conveyor, powerful sensors need to rapidly and accurately count them, but there are not many sensors that are tiny enough to fit into tight, confined spaces and still have reliable, speedy detection that keeps up with the integrated circuits as they pass by. With Banner’s ultra-miniature compact Q12 sensor, counting integrated circuits on the manufacturing line is simple.

Q4X Series Rugged Laser Distance Sensor

Rugged Q4X laser distance sensor solves many challenging applications and comes in a rugged IP69K rating with FDA food grade stainless steel housing.
