The microsonic esf- and esp- series have been specially developed for the fast and accurate recognition and detection of transparent labels or seams/seals of films. Because the sensors use ultrasonic sound instead of light, they are insusceptible to color or transparency. This also makes the sensors insusceptible to full-color printed stickers and materials with colorful patterns and prints. Available as fork sensors or separate transmitter/receiver.
esp-4/3CDD/M18 E+S is a label/splice sensor which is used to detect stickers on carrier material or sealing seams of films or packaging. The transmitter and receiver have a compact M18 housing.
esp-4/M12/3CDD/M18 E+S is a label/splice sensor which is used to detect labels on carrier material or sealing seams of films or packaging. The transmitter and receiver have a compact M18 housing.
The sensor transmits ultrasonic sound pulses against the backing material of the label. The sound pulses cause the backing material to vibrate, so that the receiver receives a strongly attenuated sound wave. The backing material provides a different signal level than the label or splice/seal. This signal difference is analyzed by the sensor. The difference between the backing material and the label or seal can be very small.
