Reliable Presence Detection of Objects on the Conveyor Belt

Titelbild

The Task

Millions of objects move along conveyor belts every day, advancing to the next processing step. Before downstream operations can begin, it must first be confirmed that an object is present on the workpiece carrier. A sensor is needed to reliably perform this presence check and keep production lines running smoothly. 

The Challenge

Objects on the workpiece carriers vary widely in shape, color, and type, and their position on the belt is not always the same. This diversity makes detection difficult for conventional sensors—especially in low-contrast situations such as black objects on a black background.

Our Solution

The DTECT® Object 3D reliably determines whether an object is present in the field of view—regardless of its shape, color, or position. The sensor delivers stable results even in challenging contrasts, such as black-on-black scenarios. Setup is fast and simple with the built-in control buttons, ensuring smooth integration into existing production processes.

Your Advantages

  • Reliable presence detection, even with varying shapes, colors, or positions of objects
  • Stable detection even in low-contrast scenarios, e.g., black on black
  • Fast, simple setup and commissioning via sensor buttons
