Industrial Applications

1. Liquid Level Control in Industrial Tanks

This sensor can accurately monitor liquid levels in industrial tanks, preventing overfills or running dry. The 80-2000mm sensing range allows for measurement in various tank sizes.

Problem Solved

Prevents material waste, production halts, and equipment damage by providing reliable, non-contact level detection for corrosive or sensitive liquids, where physical contact sensors might fail or contaminate. The IP65 rating ensures durability in wet environments.

2. Object Detection and Positioning on Conveyor Belts

The sensor can detect the presence, absence, and precise position of objects on conveyor belts, regardless of their color, transparency, or surface texture. Its two programmable switch outputs can trigger sorting mechanisms or robotic arms.

Problem Solved

Improves automation efficiency and reduces errors in manufacturing and packaging lines where diverse materials (e.g., transparent plastics, dark rubber) need reliable detection. Synchronization options prevent interference when multiple sensors are used in close proximity.

3. Roll Diameter Monitoring in Web Processing

Used to continuously monitor the diameter of material rolls (paper, film, fabric) in unwind or rewind applications, providing feedback for tension control or roll change alerts.

Problem Solved

Ensures consistent product quality and minimizes downtime by accurately measuring roll consumption, allowing for timely material replenishment or precise tension adjustments. The non-contact ultrasonic method is ideal for delicate surfaces.
