Detection of pallets with BlueLight sensors

The task

The detection of transport pallets plays a central role in many intralogistics processes. Sensors must be able to detect the pallets quickly and consistently to ensure they are ready for subsequent work steps, such as wrapping the pallets in film.

The challenge

Reliable pallet detection with optical sensors can be influenced by several factors. For instance, sensors might struggle to detect logos or brand markings on the pallets, and variations in the distance between the pallet and the sensor can also compromise accuracy.

Our solution

The FT 55-BH photoelectric diffuse sensor with BlueLight technology easily and efficiently detects transport pallets. 
The FT 55-BH is a compact, high-performance sensor designed for superior pallet detection using powerful background suppression. 
It operates effectively without a reflector and uses blue light technology to accurately detect challenging surfaces like labels and branding stamps. The sensor can easily handle both varying scanning distances and varying surface colors, whether reflective or absorbing, ensuring consistent performance in diverse conditions.

Your advantages

  • High sensing range of 1.2 m
  • BlueLight technology with adjustable background suppression - Consistent and precise detection even with shiny and reflective backgrounds
  • Precise range adjustment via potentiometer
  • Robust detection of highly transparent or highly absorbent objects
  • Powerful performance even at detection angles of almost 90 °
