Ultrasonic Fork Sensor for Label Detection
November 1, 2022
Norstat offers an Ultrasonic Fork Sensor designed for the detection of transparent labels or opaque label materials. It is suited for packaging or labeling applications where the detection of the label compared to the carrier material is crucial.
"Ultrasonic sensing is one of the best ways to detect clear objects with high reliability. The FC8 Ultrasonic Sensor can detect objects regardless of the color, surface or material," said a company spokesperson. "The FC8 is a reliable solution for label detection that can be used in any lighting environment."
The FC8 has an aluminum housing with a 3 mm width slit detection and a 69 mm depth slit detection. It is available in teach-in versions with dynamic and remote teach.
The FC8 connects via an M8 four-pin plug for easy set-up and maintenance. Maximum switching frequency is 1,500 Hz. Output can be PNP digital, NPN digital or LO/DO output selectable with remote teach. Normal sensing distance is 3 mm with a 2 mm minimum distance between labels and a maximum flow rate of 180 m/min. The FC8 can operate in temperatures ranging from +5 °C to +55 °C and carries a protection rating of IP65.
