In modern packaging facilities, products of different shapes and surface textures move quickly along conveyors. The WTB26I-24161120A00 ensures consistent object recognition with its wide detection range and advanced background suppression. Even when dealing with glossy or dark items, the sensor maintains accurate performance. The BluePilot visual setup makes alignment quick, while IO-Link diagnostics allow operators to monitor performance remotely, reducing downtime and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted production flow.
In beverage bottling operations, detecting transparent bottles or reflective cans is a major challenge. The WTB26I-24161120A00 overcomes this with its infrared LED and precise suppression of reflections, accurately identifying containers regardless of clarity or shine. Its VISTAL® housing resists cleaning agents and moisture, maintaining long-term stability even after frequent washdowns. This ensures reliable detection, better process synchronization, and reduced false triggers in automated filling and packaging systems.
In robotic assembly lines, the need for precision detection of small or metallic parts is critical. The WTB26I-24161120A00 provides high-speed switching capability and configurable logic functions, allowing robots to react instantly during part alignment or pick-and-place tasks. Its background suppression avoids interference from nearby equipment or reflective surfaces, ensuring reliable operation even in compact workcells. This helps manufacturers maintain assembly accuracy, prevent misalignment, and optimize cycle times in automated production.
Automated warehouse systems rely on accurate detection of pallets and cartons with varied textures and colors.
