Balluff: UV luminescence sensor

Balluff’s BLT 31M sensor effectively detects UV luminescent materials and markers with a range of 300 mm.

Jun 11, 2007

Extended sensing range allows sensor to be mounted out of the way of the manufacturing process, therefore avoiding incidental contact. Response time of 6 kHz makes it suitable for high-speed packaging applications. With assistance of an optional 50-mm lens, the projected UV light can be directed into a 5-mm spot.

According to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the carton format had the lowest environmental footprint of all the options, which compared PCR, molded fiber, glass, aluminum, and paper cartons. Using cartons to refill more durable rPET bottles makes the whole system bathroom- and shower-worthy, since the cartons themselves deteriorate in wet environments.
