Packaging & Printing

Packaging and printing operations demand sensors that keep pace with cycle times measured in milliseconds. Registration accuracy, jam detection, label verification, and material presence must all be confirmed reliably on every stroke — even when substrates change, reflective films are involved, or the environment is dusty and wet.

Applications & Use Cases

Pantron FSI & FSR Series Pantron FSI & FSR Series
01
Packaging Edge and Web Guiding

Pantron FSI and FSR series fork sensors monitor a web as it feeds into form-fill-seal machines, ensuring the packaging material remains perfectly aligned.

Frame Light Barriers Frame Light Barriers
02
Carton blank presence on folding-gluing machines

Frame light barriers confirm carton blank presence across the full width of the feed zone, catching skewed or missing blanks before they jam the folder-gluer.

Pantron Photoelectric Pantron Photoelectric
03
Film web break and splice detection

Pantron photoelectric slimline sensors detect paper or plastic webs and trigger tear or break alerts, preventing downstream equipment damage from undetected breaks.

Lion Precision Label Sensors Lion Precision Label Sensors
04
Label dispense verification

Lion Precision capacitive label sensors confirm each label has been dispensed and applied, flagging missing or double-fed labels before the package moves to the filler.

EGE Inductive Proximity EGE Inductive Proximity
05
Filled package weight rejection triggering

EGE inductive proximity sensors confirm that checkweigher rejection gates have fully actuated, ensuring underweight packages are diverted before the conveyor clears.

di-soric Distance Sensors di-soric Distance Sensors
06
Inkjet print-head positioning

di-soric distance sensors provide closed-loop positioning feedback for traversing inkjet print-heads on wide-format printing gantries.

Banner Smart Camera Banner Smart Camera
07
Code verification & OCR, Color & registration control, and missing print detection

Banner smart cameras ensure quality control, automate traceability, and verify print accuracy.
