Edge detection of transparent materials

During the production process of various materials, it is necessary to maintain the leveling of the product in a certain position on the conveyor or rewinding roll.
The SICK AS30 light band sensor with REF-AX-002 reflector can be used to detect the edge shift of a transparent material such as glass, clear plastic, or film.

Usage

Positioning of sheets, Edge guiding, Edge tear detection, Tracking of lines, Double layer detection, thickness measurement

Advantages

- Without a reflector, the sensor can be used for any other material.
- High application flexibility through sensor configuration
- The AS30 light band sensor is a much cheaper solution than using a 2D camera or their system.
