It’s important to detect protrusions on shuttles to ensure uninterrupted operation and prevent collisions. We recommend to use of photoelectric retro-reflective sensors: 

• O200.RP.T
• O330.RP

Your benefits:

• Transparent version to detect overlapping foils for maximum availability​
• 3D CAD integrated beam and qTarget make engineering and commissioning easy​
• Compact sensors allow more flexibility for your shuttle design​

To ensure uninterrupted operation and prevent collisions, it’s necessary to monitor the position of the child shuttle and the overhang of the pallet. For this, time-of-flight background suppression sensors are the right solution:

• OT300.GL
• OT500.GL

Your benefits:

• Reliable detection of objects regardless of the material or surface allows highest availability
• Compact sensors with extended sensing range up to 2.5 m allow more flexibility for your shuttle design
   

Knowing the exact position of the shuttle at the end of the lane for loading is key. Photoelectric fork sensors are the fitting solution here:

• OG050

Your benefits:

• Reliable and material independent object detection with through-beam sensor allows highest availability
• Fork sensors for easy commissioning
• Compact sensors allow more flexibility for your shuttle design
   

To ensure the final and correct child shuttle position on the parent shuttle we recommend to use photoelectric retro-reflective sensors: 

• O200.RP
• O330.RP

Your benefits:

• 3D CAD integrated beam and qTarget  make engineering and commissioning easy
• Compact sensors allow more flexibility for your shuttle design
