The Applications

1. Dust-Heavy Conveyor Environments

In industries such as cement or mining, conveyor systems operate amid fine airborne dust that often clouds sensor lenses. By enclosing sensors within the OBS-W45 protective housing, operators prevent dust buildup and maintain precise detection. The aluminum structure withstands vibration, and its angled optical window naturally limits dust accumulation. This ensures uninterrupted detection of materials moving along the belt while minimizing cleaning downtime and false readings.

2. Automated Packaging and Sorting Lines

High-speed packaging and logistics systems require stable sensing even under constant motion and debris exposure. The OBS-W45 housing keeps optical sensors clear from glue mist, fibers, or cardboard particles. Its rugged mounting design resists vibration, keeping sensors aligned for consistent performance. As a result, conveyors run smoothly with accurate object recognition—reducing sorting errors and improving production throughput in warehouse operations.

3. Food and Beverage Processing Lines

In filling or bottling systems where moisture, condensation, and splashes are common, the OBS-W45 provides effective protection against water droplets and cleaning chemicals. Its painted aluminum body and sealed construction maintain clear sensor visibility while preventing corrosion. This allows sensors to perform accurately when detecting containers or liquid levels, even under humid or wash-down conditions, ensuring product quality and reducing process interruptions.

4. Outdoor Vehicle and Loading Control Systems

At bulk material loading stations or outdoor truck bays, sensors must endure exposure to rain, dust, and temperature shifts. The OBS-W45 housing acts as a weather-resistant enclosure, keeping sensitive optics safe and dry. Its robust build and stable alignment reduce maintenance demands while enabling reliable detection of vehicles and materials. This consistent performance supports automated gate control and safe, efficient loading operations year-round.
