Versatile Applications of Gloss Sensors

Presence Check of Labels on Shiny Cans

In the packaging industry, labels are applied to cans in so-called hot glue labeling machines. To ensure a high quality standard, it is necessary to check that the labels have been correctly applied to the corresponding cans. For this purpose, a gloss sensor with laser light is installed next to the conveyor line.
