Measure opacity and turbidity in containers like bottles and films on your production line, cutting defects and costs for precise quality control in pharmaceutical and food industries.

The OPAX-1000™ Opacity & Turbidity Sensor from EMX Industries, Inc. is designed to verify the opacity of containers with on-line, high-speed, accurate, and reliable measurements. It combines proven sensor technology with innovative hardware to measure light transmission in various applications, including packaging for pharmaceutical, food, and personal care products. It helps establish pass/fail criteria for minimum opacity, eliminates defects, and enables real-time quality control by testing every container and identifying those with low opacity. The sensor features a 2-digit display for signal strength, making setup and integration quick and easy, and includes both discrete PNP/NPN and analog outputs for assessing relative opacity.

The OPAX Opacity Sensor is chosen for its high-speed, accurate opacity measurements, ability to test every container in real-time, and rugged construction, making it ideal for quality control in demanding industrial environments.

Features of the OPAX Series Opacity Sensors:

Relative opacity units display
High-resolution analog output for monitoring opacity by external systems
High detection speed with 100-microsecond discrete output response
Adjustable brackets for quick setup and integration
Calibration feature for manual user sensitivity adjustment
Laser-mark position sensor indicates container positioning for measurement
Unique numerical display for easy process setup
Rugged construction
