Label Sensor
Label sensors are used to apply labels on containers; two
sensors are required:
The LABEL•EYE,® label sensor that triggers the precise label position on the
peeler plate.
The Object Sensor detects the container that requires a label. Products:
- Label•Eye™
- EZ-Eye™
- Smarteye® RetroSmart™
- Smarteye® EZ-PRO™
|
 |
Inkjet Printing & Laser Marking
Accurate, repeatable coding positions depend on
high-speed sensors and correct sensing techniques. The most reliable sensing
technique is beam-break sensing using glass fiber optics.
Products:
- Smarteye® EZ-PRO™
- Smarteye® MARK II
- Smarteye® RetroSmart™

Registration Mark Sensing
When detecting printed registration marks on a wide
variety of packaging material, we recommend our white light source LED for
broadband color detection.

Clear Object Detection
For flawless detection of anything... from clear bottles
to shiny cans, we recommend the RetroSmart™. You will not be able to make
this sensor false trigger.
Products:
- Smarteye® RetroSmart™
|
 |
Flawless Can Detection
To sense cans with no gaps the preferred mode of sensing
is Beam Break detection. We recommend the EZ-PRO™ and two F-A-36T fibers.
With the fibers, aim the beam at a 45° angle at the top edge of the lid.
Gaps and colors are not a problem with this reliable sensing technique.

Label Inspection
Verify that labels are not missing on containers. Sensors
look for the fluorescent optical brighteners found in paper labels and ink.
Products:
- Smarteye® Stealth-UV
|
|
|
Seal Verification
Verify that tamperproof seals are present on caps and
lids. Sensors look for the fluorescent optical brighteners that are added to
plastic shrink wrap materials.

designed to detect the presence of invisible fluorescent materials contained
in special chalks, inks, paint, greases, glue, optical brightness found in
labels, paper, tape, string, etc. The STEALTH-UV contains an ultraviolet
(UV) solid state light source that is used to excite the luminescence in
materials to fluoresce in the visible range. The sensor's detector then
responds to the visible fluorescing light. When the received fluorescing
light level as displayed on the Contrast Indicator reaches a level of "4" or
above, the NPN and PNP output transistors will switch to the opposite state.
