Ejection monitoring of valves with laser light scanners

Description

Two valves for car tires are located in a holder. These are to be tested for presence / absence at different processing stations. Required is the reliable detection of these highly glossy metal parts in a very constrained space over a distance of approximately 150 mm. Moreover, this is to be performed at an incline, since the valves are to be detected through the holder.

Solution

The HRTL 8 laser diffuse reflection light scanner is used. This scanner with background suppression reliably detects the parts even when used at an incline, it is easy to adjust and – in terms of price – within the planned budget.
