Frequently Asked Questions

What maintenance does a sensor array require in beverage production environments?

Regular cleaning of optical surfaces with food-grade solvents, calibration checks every 500 operating hours, inspection for condensation in humid environments, and replacement of worn sealing gaskets to maintain IP67 rating.

How does the sensor array handle different label materials and colors?

Programmable sensitivity settings, multi-spectral detection capabilities, and adaptive algorithms allow the array to detect various materials (paper, plastic, foil) and colors by adjusting light intensity and filtering specific wavelengths.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
