Applications of Wenglor ED98PC3 Through Beam Sensor

Overhang Monitoring in Pallet Warehouses Using Through-Beam Sensors

Pallets are moved and arranged on many rack levels by forklift trucks in automated pallet warehouses. There is a risk of collisions if the lanes are not always clear. To quickly identify protruding pallets, through-beam sensors are mounted at the outer edges of the high-bay racks on all levels. The red light barriers consistently flip over long distances, even when there are interfering issues like dust, grime, or ambient light.

Through-Beam Sensors

Through-beam sensors track passageways in systems, identify and count microscopic parts, and detect an object’s edge. Using the through-beam mode, the emitter and receiver are located in different housings. When an object interferes with the laser, red, or infrared light, the sensor switches.
