SICK Background Suppression, Foreground Suppression Photoelectric Sensor

In many factories the light from the floor, dust or moving parts makes it hard for a sensor to see the object you want to detect. When the sensor misses an item, a line can stop, a robot can crash, or a safety gate can stay closed. The SICK Background Suppression, Foreground Suppression Photoelectric Sensor removes the unwanted light and only reacts to the target object. This gives you a clear, reliable signal every time.

SICK Background Suppression, Foreground Suppression Photoelectric Sensor with SICK

You need a sensor that can tell the difference between a product and the noisy background of a busy plant. This sensor from SICK does exactly that. It uses both background and foreground suppression to ignore stray light and focus on the object you care about. If your line is missing parts or your safety system is too slow, this sensor fixes the problem fast.
