    Leading Edge Detection
    Leading Edge Detection

    Sensors detect the leading edge of pallets, polybags, blister packs, envelopes, tubes, and a wide range of difficult to detect targets.

    Shuttle Tote Positioning
    Shuttle Tote Positioning

    The Q20 WORLD-BEAM Polarized Retro sensors are mounted on the rails of the multishuttles, to confirm that product stays within the safety zone and confirms a product is positioned correctly to avoid hanging off the “safe zone.” Q20 sensors are cost effective and accurately detect presence and placement, making them ideal for a warehouse environment. The compact size and ease of installation make the Q20 a robust product for these applications. The Q20 sensors have a distance range up to 4 m and the sensor functionality of noise immunity and cross-talk avoidance allows the operator to test the system before use.

    Labeling Detection
    Labeling Detection

    In an application with limited space, the WORLD-BEAM Q20 sensor is easily positioned to verify the presence of a label before it is applied to the product.

    Objects on a Conveyor
    Objects on a Conveyor

    The WORLD-BEAM Q20 diffuse sensors are positioned above a conveyor line in an array pattern to detect the presence of objects on a high speed conveyor.

    Load Station Pallet Detection
    Load Station Pallet Detection

    The WOLD-BEAM Q20 diffuse sensor is positioned to detect the presence of a pallet. Once the pallet is in place, an output signals the robot to begin loading.
