RS And Banner Engineering Enable Reliable Package Detection

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) The global material handling, logistics, and packaging industries are experiencing significant growth. Valued at $1.24 trillion in 2024, the global packaging industry is projected to grow to a value of $1.69 trillion by 2034 . Similarly, the global material handling and logistics industry is currently projected to grow from a valuation of $3.93 trillion in 2024 to $5.95 trillion by 2030 . Ensuring that packages are at the right place - from filling to delivery - is paramount for effectively supporting this growth, and Banner's new B25 wide beam sensor can help.

Banner's new B25 wide beam sensor, available at RS, helps get more packages to the right place at the right time.

Banner's new B25 wide beam sensor reliably detects the leading edges of targets as thin as 3mm within its wide 25mm beam, regardless of shape, position, or material. It quickly and accurately detects targets made of dark, shiny, translucent, and otherwise challenging materials, as well as those with inconsistent edges like folds, holes, or open flaps, which can cause competing sensors to switch on and off repeatedly, or chatter, and generate a noisy, unstable signal. As such, the B25 is ideal for detecting packages like mailers or polybags, improving the precision control of package flows, and enhancing sortation efficiency and accuracy.

This new high-performance photoelectric sensor also features an intuitive, user-friendly design engineered to make setup, installation, commissioning, and maintenance quick and easy. Users can configure the sensor with a single pushbutton, a remote input wire, or an IO-Link interface. With another simple button press, they can teach the sensor to ignore the effects of belt flutter and seams. The B25 also makes it easy for users to adjust variable sensitivity settings to optimize the reliable detection of challenging targets and reference integrated LED lights to monitor the amount of light blocked by targets and view device status. Additionally, the integrated multi-channel cable routing on the bottom of the sensor housing cleanly routes cables away from the sensor, regardless of how it's mounted.

The new B25 wide beam sensor supports a detection range up to 2m (6.6'), utilizes a 10–30V DC supply voltage, offers push-pull with IO-Link and PNP outputs, and features a 100mm (6") PVC-jacketed cable terminated with a four-pin M12 quick-disconnect connector.
