it resistant to vibration or to
any ‘wobbling’ of the product
on a high-speed conveyor.
“Glare can cope with ±5 degree
misalignment - a function
which other gloss sensors
cannot match,” says Hannaby.
The Glare Sensor is easy
to integrate into both new
and existing machinery.
Light levels and sensing
modes are adjustable to suit
the application while the
integrated IO-Link facilitates
integration with PLC and servo
motor control. The sensor’s
settings are stored centrally
in the machine controller
and can be transferred to
the sensor when production
changes to a different pack,
or when a sensor needs to be
replaced at any time.
The sensor’s IO-Link
connection also means it can
be configured to supply a wide
range of process data during
operation for diagnostics
via the PLC or at the user
interface.
