We need to find the leading edge of 1/8" thick veneer on a shiny solid white belt, and ultrasonic proximity sensors have been recommended. They will be used in a pretty hot, dirty environment. Does anyone have any experience with these proxs (VIRTU VM18) or others in a similiar application to share? Any recommendations of alternate solutions, or specific models & manufactures, specifications and/or known problems with using these versus normal photoeyes?
They apparently are fairly inexpensive compared to the laser photo eyes we use elsewhere where the belt problem doesn't exist.
Thanks in advance if you choose to comment.
