Once you have your bar code
printed or marked onto the item
you are trying to track – in
many applications – the next
step is detecting that part or
item in an automated process.
Pacific iD offers all types of
sensors – diffuse, reflective,
and through beam. We have color,
fluid measurement and other
types of specialty sensors for
any application.
Diffuse sensor solutions
Diffuse sensors with background
or foreground suppression which
work with triangulation do not
only sense the light reflected
from the target, but also sense
the distance of the object to
the sensor. Within the fully
adjustable distance, objects
which are at least as big as the
diameter of the light beam are
recognized independently of
color and surface properties

Through beam sensor solutions
Emitter and receiver are in two
separate housings facing each
other. The sensor switches
whenever the light beam is
interrupted.
Advantages include:
> Large sensing ranges
> Switching point, independent of the
surface nature of the object
> Excellent repeatability

Retro-reflective sensor
solutions
With the emitter and receiver in
the same housing this sensor
transmits a pulsed infrared or
red light beam which is
reflected back from a "triple
prism" reflector or reflective
tape. The sensor switches when
the light beam is interrupted.
These devices recognize objects
independent of their surface
qualities, as long as they are
not too shiny.
