Photoelectric sensors, vision sensors and vision systems: how to determine which is the most effective solution.

Photoelectric SensorsA photoelectric sensor family designed for small parts conveying equipment is available. The BOS 11K helps designers reduce a machine’s overall footprint on the factory floor. The family includes

Ethernet can reliably deliver all useful vision sensor information to a plant’s operation and process control systems.

MP3 players are destined for a demanding consumer market and cannot be compromised in any way. Code reading is an essential product-tracking procedure for printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in MP3 players, allowing manufacturers to protect themselves against costly recalls and product mix-ups, as well as allowing for damage control in the event of a problem. Sony’s Malaysian plant (Penang, Malaysia) had an issue with badly read codes, which resulted in high rejection rates that were costing the company money in terms of re-work and rejected units. When this code-reading system proved incapable of rising to the challenge, Sony began searching for a solution.
