Object trigger signal
•
Overhanging objects are detected with the help of an additionally mounted object
detection photoelectric sensor.
•
The object detection photoelectric sensor detects the leading edge of the object
located on the cross-belt conveyor element and sends a suitable trigger signal to the
control unit.
•
The exact position of the object on the cross-belt conveyor element is then calculated
based on the relative timing of the object trigger and cross-belt signal.
