Dependable detection of transparent containers

September 2024 Sensors & Transducers


Many of today’s industrial control functions require a sensor that can provide dependable detection of position or presence of transparent containers. The RetroSmart provides a single, non-chattering output for each transparent container that passes by, independent of size or shape, and whether it is empty or full.

Just point the RetroSmart sensor’s red, narrow light beam at the reflector and push the AUTOSET button once. Now sit back and watch the sensor flawlessly detect any size PET bottle filled with water, with no need to worry about burn-through or double signals. When the efficiency of an entire production line depends on the performance of a photoelectric sensor, the RetroSmart is the smart choice.
