Positioning
According to the line sensor principle
The PS30 from Sick is a scanning, optoelectronic sensor for determining the position and checking the presence of labels, packaging material or tubes. It detects complex patterns at a maximum object speed of 10 m/s.
According to the manufacturer, the device delivers a stable switching signal based on the functional principle of a line sensor. Teach-in, distinctive patterns of an image serve as a reference for the subsequent detection and positioning of objects, independent of special reference marks. Commissioning can be carried out via the control panel, via the 'Sopas' configuration software or via the machine's HMI. Engineering tools for an automated format change and visual diagnostics are available. It can be used for continuous webs and for pattern recognition on individual objects. Labels can be positioned reliably without a print mark. Pattern recognition is performed by analyzing significant and unambiguous image areas; it is not necessary to analyze the entire image.
