Firstly, the surface characteristics of the belt are taught, this enables the sensor to subsequently detect all objects that do not correspond to the belt surface as "deviations", even if the conveyor belt is dirty or vibrating. Colour, gloss, or transparency do not influence the detection guaranteeing a high machine throughput and preventing system downtime.
No realignment of the sensor is needed when products or packaging materials are changed over. This significantly reduces the setup time required and enables higher product volumes.
