Industrial Applications

1. Automated Tank Level Monitoring in Harsh Environments

This sensor precisely monitors the fill levels of liquids or granular materials in large industrial tanks, even under dusty or wet conditions. The 4-20 mA analog output provides continuous, real-time level feedback to control systems.

Problem Solved

It prevents costly overfilling or underfilling, ensures continuous process operation, and offers reliable performance in environments where contact sensors might corrode or foul. The IP65 rating ensures durability in outdoor or washdown applications, and the 10m range accommodates large tanks.

2. Object Positioning and Presence Detection on Conveyor Systems

Ideal for detecting the presence, precise position, and approximate size of diverse objects on conveyor belts, particularly effective for irregularly shaped, transparent, or dark items that often challenge optical sensors. Its two PNP switch outputs can trigger sorting mechanisms or regulate conveyor flow.

Problem Solved

Ensures efficient material flow, prevents collisions, and automates sorting processes by reliably sensing objects regardless of their optical properties. The 800mm dead band facilitates optimal mounting above conveyor lines.

3. Collision Avoidance for Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs)

When mounted on AGVs, this sensor detects obstacles up to 10 meters away, providing essential distance data via its analog output. Its switch outputs can initiate emergency stops or guide path adjustments, ensuring operational safety.

Problem Solved

Significantly enhances safety in busy industrial environments like warehouses or factories by preventing collisions between AGVs and personnel or other equipment. Its robust construction (shock/vibration resistance, wide temperature range, IP65) and synchronization options allow multiple sensors to operate without interference in close proximity.
