## Presence and Absence
## **Application Challenge**
The presence of tea bags on a conveyor must be verified to trigger processes down the line. The tea bags can vary in shape and color consistency, complicating detection. At times there can be little contrast between the tea bags and the conveyor, further complicating detection.
## Measurement
## **Application Challenge**
Measuring the fill level of pills in a bottle helps ensure that the quantities inside the bottle are correct. However, the shape, edges, and gaps between pills create an inconsistent surface that is difficult to measure.
## **Application Solution**
## **Application Solution**
A Q4X measures the distance from the face of the sensor to the conveyor. Capable of identifying sub-millimeter changes in distance, the Q4X easily detects the slight variations in height that indicate the presence of a tea bag on the conveyor.
Distance-based presence/absence detection or part positioning regardless of color or reflectivity of object and background.
A Q4X analog sensor set up in trigger mode uses the averaging feature to provide a more consistent fill-level measurement. A connected Q3X contrast sensor detects the leading edge of each bottle and uses a one-shot output timer to determine when and how long the Q4X will measure. The Q4X then measures across the varying surface inside the bottle and outputs a single analog value based on the average measurement.

## Error Proofing
## **Application Challenge**
In a car speaker assembly, the presence and placement of all components must be verified to ensure that defective or incomplete product is not shipped to the customer. The small sizes, slim profiles, and similar colors of many components can make identifying errors difficult.
## **Application Solution**
By measuring the distance from the face of the sensor to the mounting bracket, a Q4X verifies that a single spacer is present and properly seated. Using dual-mode detection, the Q4X can also measure the amount of light received to determine if the spacer has been placed with the adhesive side up or down. The compact size of the Q4X allows for an unobtrusive installation into congested assembly stations.

## Clear Object Detection
## **Application Challenge**
Regulating the flow of bottles on a conveyor can prevent damage to the bottles, product loss, and machine downtime. It also helps ensure that downstream processes progress smoothly. Variations in bottle shape, size, material, color, and transparency can make detecting bottles and accumulations difficult.
## **Application Solution**
Taught to recognize a stable background condition, a Q4X operating in dual mode will detect any alteration in the distance to and light intensity from the background condition, making the sensor immune to variations in bottle shape, size, color, clarity, and reflectivity. The Q4X has integral on/off delays that can send a signal if an accumulation occurs.
