Protection against pallet push-through
December 1st 2008

Protection against accidental push-through of pallets in high-bay warehouse racking configurations is generally provided by mechanical systems involving elaborate, costly steel constructions. However, with its ODS 96B optical distance sensors, Leuze electronic claims a more economical and technically superior solution.

The ODS 96B is designed to carry out continuous distance measurements, dynamic product measurement and position controls. With a measurement range of 60 to 2000mm it is ideally suited to perform compartment occupied checks, and as an additional feature their switching function can be used to also provide a pushthrough safeguard.

Leuze claims the ODS 96B detects dynamic processes up to five times faster than comparable products, suiting it to high-speed sequences operations such as high-bay and automated warehouses.
