Application Notes
Date/Lot Code Presence or Absence Detection
An SLM series slot sensor and an iVu Series vision sensorare used to detect bottles passing on the line and to verify that date/lot codes have been correctly printed onto the bottles.
Counting Syringes with a Slot Sensor
In this application, the semi-transparent syringes have been oriented in a feeder bowl (not shown) and are moving down a rail in preparation for the next stage of assembly and packaging. A Banner SLM Slot Sensor is ideal for this application because the sensor housing is equipped with an emitter and receiver on the end of each fork, creating a perfectly aligned opposed-mode sensing beam for the syringes to pass through.
