Pepperl+Fuchs pallet detector solution

Click2Contact

With the pallet detector, Pepperl+Fuchs is providing an application-oriented solution for pallet detection on chain and roller conveyor systems that consists of a combination of sensor and bracket developed specifically for the application.

The part-reduced solution is easy to pre-assemble and offers increased work safety during operation due to its installation within the conveyor line. The special bracket design and a software algorithm also make the solution particularly resistant to dirt. For plastic pallets that are difficult to detect, an ultrasonic version can be used instead of a photoelectric sensor.

Unlike conventional systems, the pallet detector is not mounted on the side, but integrated into the conveyor line. This minimises the installation effort and at the same time increases occupational safety. It is designed to not only reduce logistics and assembly costs, but also increase occupational safety: since the sensor solution is integrated into the conveyor line, there are no protruding bars that would pose a safety risk to employees.
