Applications for RetroReflective Area Sensors

Wednesday, April 7, 2010 by Beckie Bordenaro

The Pepperl & Fuchs RLG28 retroreflective area sensors are great for a number ofretroreflective area sensors applications including:

 

  • Leading edge detection of pallets
  • Identification of pallet overhang
  • Detective irregular or undefined edges like newspaper
  • Sensing objects with changing shapes or heights such as pouches or bags
  • Detection of falling objects
  • Detect objects regardless of textures including glossy foil wrap, damaged trays, etc.
  • Confirming presence of objects with changing positions such as board bouncing or moving conveyors

Retroreflective area sensors contain multiple transmitter and receiver elements in one housing aimed at a reflector. This gives you continuous height or width detection over the entire distance from the sensor to the detector!
