Conventional photoelectric sensors are great at detecting fast-moving reflective objects, which makes them ideal for packaging operations that must count and sort thousands of items a day. Depending on the target material and composition, detecting transparent objects like glass and plastic bottles may pose a challenge. This is because transparent objects absorb very little visible… Read more »

Use Photoelectric Sensors to Detect Transparent Objects
Automated manufacturing operations depend on sensor equipment to make sure each step of the process is completed reliably and effectively. For many applications, inductive sensors can do a fine job of monitoring and maintaining the automated manufacturing process. When working with glass or transparent polymers, however, you need a different type of sensor. In this… Read more »
