Checker’s unique inspection sensors provide the most reliable way to inspect your part:

Brightness Sensor Brightness sensors look for dark or light areas on the part.    Width Sensor Width sensors measure the width of a part, component, or feature.
Contrast Sensor Contrast sensors look for areas on the part that contain both bright and dark areas: date codes, threads, and many other part features.   Height Sensor Height sensors measure the height of a part, component, or feature.
Pattern Sensor Pattern sensors understand what your part features look like and lets you know when the feature appears.   Diameter Sensor Diameter sensors measure the diameter of a part, component, or feature.

The Checker Part Finding Sensor has three important advantages:

  1. Detects a part by locating a feature on the part, not just an edge
  2. Tracks parts in varying positions along the production line, overcoming imprecise part positioning
  3. Does not require additional sensors to determine if a part is present
