Detecting clearshiny, darkglossy or multireflective surfaces has always been a challenge in automated packaging and logistics operations, especially where there are complex curved shapes or transparent outlines.
The new multipac optical sensor launched by sick uk offers a promising new solution to the problem. Multipac eliminates the possibility of false or misleading signals and therefore achieves highlyconsistent detection in multiproduct handling applications even when detecting shiny, clear or curved surfaces.
