Sensor Sees Clear Objects

July 3, 2009
The World-Beam QS30 Clear Object Sensor uses an advanced optical design to allow the sensor to see translucent materials, ensuring dependable detection of clear targets including PET bottles and glass containers. 
An optical design prevents the sensor from being tricked by specular reflections, allowing the sensor to detect optically engineered surfaces such as mirrors, LCD glass with polarizing films, and semiconductor wafers. The sensor features an automatic compensation algorithm, which adapts the switching threshold to the sensor’s environment in real time. Small changes due to dust or contamination on the sensor are filtered out by the microcontroller.  Banner Engineering Corp.www.bannerengineering.com888.373.6767
