The PMI F90 positioning system monitors the guide roller during unwinding and winding of foils and fabrics in packaging machines. To prevent material cracks, the system automatically adapts the speed … more
Automatic Bottle Positioning in Filling Machines
Up to 90.000 bottles per hour can be filled in modern filling machines. With an accuracy of <0,1°, ENA58IL magnetic rotary encoders deliver exact position data for precise bottle positioning … more
Exact Food Tray Positioning
As the specialist for profile comparison, the SmartRunner Matcher Extended can store up to 32 reference profiles and detect irregularities during detection. The light section sensor detects the position of a divided trays and checks whether they are correctly positioned for filling … more
Precise Detection and Distance Measurement of the Smallest Objects
In numerous applications, safe detection and measurement of small objects or object features is decisive for the quality of automated processes. Small R10x series distance sensors can determine the container’s stack height while, at the same time, ordering the next container … more
Positioning and Measurement
Reliable Contact Protection for Complete Safety
Multiple-Beam Light Barriers create a two-dimensional detection zone that protects users' fingers, hands, or bodies, depending on the application. Highest safety standards up to PL e, Cat. 4 and SIL 3 are ensured at all times … more
Complete Protection of Personnel in Packaging Plants
Packaging machines often run at high speeds and 24-hour operation. This makes it even more important to ensure protection of personnel and equipment and to prevent machine downtime. SafeBox safety control units prevent unauthorized access and are suitable for protective equipment such as safety switches and emergency stop buttons … more
Safe and Reliable Processes in Palletizers
Due to the high risk of injury, automated palletizers are surrounded by safety fences. Safety light barriers ensure protection of personnel at all times, and interrupt the palletizing process when the fenced-off zone is accessed … more
Safe Absolute Positioning According to SIL 3/PL e
The safePXV positioning system offers unparalleled reliability for linear absolute positioning. Due to its easy handling, it is suitable for a variety of different applications … more
