In compact pick-and-place systems, ensuring every chip or resistor is correctly positioned is critical. The SICK LL3-LM38450 fits easily into tight feeder areas thanks to its flat 90° deflection head. Its through-beam fiber design detects components as small as 0.5 mm, preventing placement errors or missing parts. With the amplifier positioned remotely, the sensor minimizes interference and delivers precise detection even near high-vibration zones or reflective metal surfaces, improving assembly line reliability.
Thin and glossy packaging films can confuse standard sensors. The LL3-LM38450 provides accurate film edge detection through its wide 60° dispersion angle and multi-fiber construction, maintaining stable performance even with transparent materials. Its durable PVC sheath and chrome-plated head resist wear from rollers and mechanical tension, ensuring reliable operation in continuous packaging processes where precision film tracking prevents sealing errors and product waste.
Inside automotive modules, space constraints make conventional sensors impractical. The LL3-LM38450 solves this by offering a right-angle fiber head that can reach around corners and narrow fixtures. It detects small clips, seals, or fasteners with high precision, even in metal-dense environments. Its glass fiber construction ensures consistent light transmission without electrical interference, improving quality assurance during critical sub-assembly checks.
During tablet or capsule packing, missing or misplaced items can lead to costly rejects. The LL3-LM38450 delivers accurate cavity detection within the limited space of blister machines. Its 450 mm fiber length allows flexible installation near forming or sealing areas, while the through-beam configuration identifies tiny gaps or misalignments. Resistant to heat and motion, it maintains accuracy across shifts, ensuring every blister pack meets strict quality standards.
