A manufacturer of automated conveyor systems uses RFID technology to monitor the location of items and to route them to their chosen destinations. As an item, fitted with an RFID tag, travels through the warehouse, IO-Link-enabled high-frequency read-write modules (RWMs) monitor its position and read pre-set data stored in the tag. Local logic capability enables…
During secondary packaging of bags of confectionery, manufacturers arrange bags in overlapping layers. Multi-axis pick-and-place packing robots align and pack layers of bags in preformed cardboard cartons. The filled cartons are conveyed to case-sealing stations. A highly reliable photoelectric sensor, mounted directly above the conveyor, senses the height of the top layer of bags in…
Industrial equipment designers continually seek ways to reduce cycle times without compromising safety or increasing cost. Engineers require a monitoring capability for pneumatic cylinders that identifies deviations from the optimal deceleration profile without increasing complexity or cost. Rugged, multi-mode Smart Sensors from Contrinex, embedded in each cylinder, identify adverse trends in the deceleration profile, providing…
During automated production of electronic equipment, compact multi-finger robot grippers transport parts between operations. In the event of a malfunction or an unplanned human intervention, there’s an unacceptable collision hazard; designers insist on an overriding anti-collision system. Miniature distance sensors, embedded in the outward-facing surfaces of the gripper jaws, monitor the position of potential obstructions…
Fit for the future with Contrinex and IO-Link Intelligent sensors are the fundamental building blocks of modern smart factories. Their essential role is to provide precise and reliable data to configure, control and optimize production lines. As the leader in intelligent sensor technology, Contrinex has always pushed the boundaries of sensor performance for optimal data…
Robust space-saving design offers versatility and simplicity Contrinex fork light-barrier sensors offer a powerful combination of simplicity, multi-mode operation and compactness, with high-resolution and high-speed sensing as standard. Ideal for general position- and presence-sensing in industrial environments, these versatile, metal-cased devices allow four modes of operation – standard, high-resolution, power and high-speed – and the…

Automated, non-contact operation has become the norm for hand sanitization, and dispenser manufacturers need robust, affordable sensors to detect the presence of an individual’s hands. Dispensing soap and water traditionally requires two different sensors for accurate delivery, but modern systems use identical sensors for either application, reducing spares inventory and cutting cost. Designers require compact,…
