Here the SICK CS3-P1132 true Color Scanner uses Red, Green and Blue LED's simultaneously to distinguish between the subtlest shades of color. This sensor has 3 teachable outputs for 3 separate accept or reject results.

The SICK LUT 3-950 is a Luminescence scanner that can detect marks on lumber and help to grade the stock. The luminescence scanners also see invisible ink that is only visible to the naked eye under a black light.

The SICK DME 2000-000S01 is a distance measuring laser that is precise to 1mm over a distance of 3 meters

This is a newspaper counting application where the SICK DMH 2-P2311S03 is used. The DMH is a laser-profiling sensor with a pixilated receiver that can be taught the shape of an object and trigger only on that shapes leading edge even if the distance from the sensors to the object fluctuates during the process run.

Here we are using a KT5G-2P1111 contrast scanner to verify that the gold foil over seal has been completely rolled and sealed 360 degrees. Any gap in the seam will trigger the sensor to reject the bottle.

In this application at a thread manufacturing facility, the SICK CS1-P1111 True color sensor is simultaneously using Red, Green and Blue LED's to inspect for slight variances in color and stop the process if the thread color varies beyond a set tolerance.

Here a medical bottle labeler uses a KT5G-2P1111 to trigger the labeling head on the leading edge of the label on the web while a LUT 3-950 Luminescence scanner verifies that the label application was successful.

Here an array of WT18-2P430 Photoelectrics detect and count Chocolate muffins on a stainless steel belt with stainless lanes on a packaging line.

Here we are using a couple of LUT 3-950 Luminescence scanner to pick up invisible UV marks on lumber that designate imperfections in the lumber and trigger an automatic chop saw to trim out imperfections so the boards can then be finger jointed together.

Here we are using a SICK WT260-R280 for lumber stack height. The unit has an internal AC mechanical relay that was tied back into a motor contactor that raised and lowered the bed below the lumber.

This is a diagram of the internals of the CS1 color scanner. Note that is simultaneously uses all three Red, Green and Blue. LED's to evaluate a target and digitize its true color values.

Here we are using a WL12-2B560S37 clear material detector to NOT see through the wavy plastic water filled bottle. We have polarization filters that are so precise that they will allow the clear material detectors to distinguish the difference between 1 and 2 layers of Saran wrap or optically clear ground glass.

Here we used a fine spot Laser WT12L-2B510A01 photoeye to see the pink packets but reject the background to give the packaging machine an accurate count.

Here we are also using a WT 12L-2B510A01 Laser photoeye because the customer needed the fast 200 micro second response time and with the small .025 gap between pieces of paper on the printing press a very small sharp beam was necessary. The light spot on the Laser 12 series is .004 inches at 1.77 inches!
