Sensors play a key role in optimizing efficiency in modern manufacturing, and can ultimately make or break the success of your project. Sensors for manufacturing facilitate automated processes and real-time monitoring, reduce downtime, and improve quality. They also are essential for ensuring worker safety, minimizing risks, and adhering to important safety regulations.
When considering the right sensors for your manufacturing facility, think about environmental conditions, like temperature, dust, or moisture, as well as other valuable industry standards you must comply with in order to figure out the best fit for you. Let’s explore EMX’s best solutions for manufacturing facilities.
Choosing the Right Sensor for Manufacturing
PMX Particulate
Ideal for industrial ventilation hoods and commercial kitchen ventilation applications, the PMX particulate monitor is perfect for monitoring light transmission. With an intuitive setup, integration is quick and easy to use. The PMX is available in two styles: circuit boards for OEM applications and NEMA 4x housings to protect components. Our innovative sensor enables ventilation units to be activated and adjusts its speed based on the amount of smoke generated by the food being cooked, instead of activating ventilation all day long, which results in significant energy and cost savings.
BriteX
Another perfect sensor for manufacturing is our BriteX brightness sensor that provides reliable monitoring for a variety of packaging and manufacturing applications. Our various BriteX models can easily detect label edges and gaps on transparent, reflective, and metallic substrates on a production line. These sensors are high-speed, precise, and easy to use, making them a reliable option for quality control in various applications, such as bottling and food packaging.
UVX
Our reliable UVX luminescence sensor series effectively detects UV luminescent materials such as wood, grease, adhesives, UV inks, and optical brighteners used in various manufacturing applications. With its high sensitivity, fast response time, and robust construction, the UVX is perfect for an industrial environment, and is critical for packaging, textile, wood processing, automotive assembly, and more. The UVX sensors can improve efficiency in manufacturing.
ColorMax
Our efficient color sensors can recognize 15 colors and the fast 20kHZ sample speed enables more efficient manufacturing operations. Optimize your facility’s output with our ColorMax-1000 sensors, which feature a white balance adjustment that allows for the entry of correction factors applied to the red, green, and blue color measurements. This provides a means of adjusting the sensor’s readings, which is incredibly useful when multiple sensors are used and enables tighter quality control.
CNTX
The CNTX sensor adds high-speed, accurate, and reliable contrast differentiation, effectively detecting registration marks, glossy surfaces, cap inserts, date codes, and sorting by color, which is useful in many industrial applications. In addition, this sensor’s durable plastic case and polycarbonate lens provides robust protection, making it ideal for an industrial environment.
LabelX
Our LabelX sensors measure brightness, color, and texture in a variety of materials that are frequently found in manufacturing applications, such as paper, rice, and sugar. They provide real-time monitoring, allowing for more consistent quality control in food and materials processing. Designed for detecting label edges and gaps on a variety of substrates, it ensures more precise triggering during high-speed labeling processes, which make it an ideal sensor for manufacturing applications.
Opax
Our OPAX opacity sensor provides an easy-to-use system to measure light transmission in a wide variety of manufacturing applications, such as packaging containers used in the pharmaceutical, food, and personal care industries. Utilizing these sensors can help eliminate defects and provide accurate, high-speed measurements for the minimum opacity of these containers.
