Transparent object detection with or without reflector

When it comes to transparent packaging, we don’t want to miss a single detail, do we? By providing object detection with transparency, we offer our customers a unique opportunity to showcase their products in the best possible light. We understand that the visual appeal and clarity of packaging can make a significant impact on consumer perception and purchasing decisions. Therefore, we leave no stone unturned in ensuring that our transparent packaging is of the highest quality, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

The XUT Blue Light sensors are an excellent choice for detecting transparent objects at high speed. With their advanced technology and high sensitivity, these sensors can detect even the most transparent objects without reflectors. The XUM polarized reflex sensors, as a second choice, are providing a higher sensing distance while keeping a high precision in transparent object detection.

XUM & XUT: Make the invisible visible

Each sensor is also designed for easy installation, and can be set up quickly using the teach button or IO-Link. Two format sizes, miniature and sub-miniature make them ideal. For applications where space is limited, such as in packaging or assembly lines. With it’s IP69K, it is resistant to water and dust ingress, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. the sensors are also Ecolab certified.

This technology easily integrates the perfect LED emitter, optics, and signal processing, resulting in superior performance. The Blue Light sensors are highly reliable due to their high-precision background suppression capabilities. Even in the presence of intense or reflective backgrounds, such as reflections from metal machine parts, the detection process remains unaffected. Notably, the Blue Light series offers a compact sensor that stands out in the market for its unique feature: the ability to adjust background suppression using a potentiometer. This feature sets it apart as the only Blue Light sensor with this functionality.

Benefits

Blue Light sensors are a game-changer when it comes to unveiling the invisible. With their versatile object detection capabilities, they can effortlessly detect a wide range of objects, including deep black, reflective, curved, angled, shiny, and even transparent ones.

These sensors are especially ideal for installations in tight spaces, thanks to their performance even with challenging angles. What sets Blue Light sensors apart is their process reliability, achieved through precise transmitting and receiving technology. This reliability surpasses that of red-light sensors, ensuring seamless and dependable operation.

Telemecanique Sensors still offers reflective light technologies, which serve as a perfect complement for matte and low-reflective surfaces. These technologies are ideal for detecting fast-moving objects, thanks to their long wavelength and intensity. These capabilities are especially advantageous in applications requiring extended sensing distances, particularly when transparent boxes, such as those used for packaging fruits, need to be accurately detected. These technologies excel in handling intricate object shapes and irregular surfaces, delivering reliable detection even on grooved surfaces. A polarized reflex mode significantly enhances light immunity, providing robust protection against environmental factors and minimizing interference from signals emitted by other sensors.
