Mark sensor

Mark sensors are devices used in industrial applications to detect the presence or absence of a mark on a surface. These marks can be in the form of labels, codes, or other indicators that help with positioning, alignment, and quality control in manufacturing processes. Mark sensors use various technologies such as optical, ultrasonic, capacitive, or magnetic to detect the marks accurately and quickly.

Applications

Labeling and packaging: Mark sensors are used to detect labels on products or packaging materials to ensure proper labeling and packaging alignment.

Printing and coding: Mark sensors are used in printing and coding machines to detect printed marks on products for accurate printing and coding.

Assembly line: Mark sensors are used in assembly lines to detect marks on components for proper assembly and alignment.

Quality control: Mark sensors are used in quality control processes to detect defects or missing marks on products.

Absolute Rotary Encoder

Absolute rotary encoders provide a distinctly coded numerical value for each shaft position. In positioning tasks in particular, the absolute encoders relieve the controller of computation tasks and keep costs down by eliminating the need for additional input components. Moreover, reference runs when the machine is switched on or after power failures are no longer required as the current position value is available immediately. Parallel absolute encoders transmit the position value to the analyzing electronics through several parallel cables. Serial absolute encoders transmit their output data via standardized interfaces and protocols.

In the past, point-to-point connections were frequently set up for serial data transmission but today fieldbus

systems are being used more often.
