The LS4k is a high-speed, high-performance CMOS system-on-chip (SoC) line-scan image sensor optimized for applications requiring short exposure times and high accuracy line rates.

Particularly for small and medium-sized beverage companies, flexibility and availability are essential for the day-to-day operations. If at all possible, the bottling plants should never stand still – least of all due to crushed plastic bottles caused by absent caps and spilled liquids. A Westphalian automation company accepted the challenge and developed a cost-effective as well as reliable solution. At its center lies a color area sensor with a 100% detection rate of capless bottles – so that they can be sorted out prior to the labelling.

When customers demand a 100% traceable control of the quality – as is largely customary in the automotive industry – the supplier requires a reliable and easily manageable solution. At the assembly of vacuum pumps in Hückeswagen, Bergischen Land, Germany, an innovative height profile sensor demonstrates that guaranteed quality and cost-efficient inspection systems are absolutely compatible.
