DRT 25C: The one for everything.


Reliable detection without

readjustment when changing objects

































The dynamic reference diffuse sensor with innovative CAT technology reliably detects any objects independent of shape or surface:
flat, with openings, glossy or transparent.





Advantages for you at a glance



— Reliable detection of any object (flat, with openings, Operating range
glossy, transparent) prevents downtime and increases (distance to belt) 50 to 200 mm 
machine throughput
— No readjustment necessary when changing format Switching frequency   750 Hz
or object. Increases the production volume Minimum object size 5 mm (at 2 m/s)
— Easy and fast teaching of the sensor using the teach
button, whereby the belt is used as a reference Setting     Teach button, remote, IO-Link
— Reliable operation even with vibrations or contamination IO-Link operating modes Dual channel or SIO
of the conveyor belt Housing dimensions  15 x 42.7 x 30 mm
— Additional functions such as warning output or disabling
of the teach button via IO-Link Certificates  IP 67, IP 69K, ECOLAB

Detects objects of any shape

To control the buffer section and the weld bar, the front edges of
the products on the conveyor belt must be reliably detected.
The sensor must also reliably detect products with challenging
dimensions from very fl at to very tall, in order to prevent machine
stoppages due to incorrect detection. The sensor must be easy
to set up for all products.
The DRT 25C dynamic reference diffuse sensor reliably detects
anything, from small and fl at to tall and spherical products,
even if the shapes and contours are irregular. This means that
machines can be fi tted with a single sensor regardless of the
application. The single button teach function also makes the
DRT 25C easy to set up.




Reliably detects every type of packaging

For trouble-free control of the buffer section, packaging made
of various materials and with a wide variety of surfaces must
be reliably detected from the front edge. Changing products
or packaging fi lms should not require any additional setup and
alignment work on the sensor.


The unique technology of the DRT 25C uses the conveyor belt
surface as the point of reference. The detection is independent
of the surface characteristics of the materials used, such as the
color, gloss, and transparency. This means no setup work on the
sensor is required when changing products. 000000

The DRT 25C works with the conveyor belt surface as a dynamic 00000111111111
reference for the detection of objects. With this method, the
surface characteristics of the conveyor belt are taught in via the
teach button. The sensor will then detect all objects that do not
correspond to the conveyor belt surface. Even contamination on
the conveyor belt can be considered with the Contrast Adaptive
Teach technology.




Quickly set up – and once is all it takes

When performing the initial setup, the conveyor belt surface is
taught in as a point of reference with the teach button.
After a product changeover, it is not necessary to adjust this
setting, as the point of reference remains the same. In addition,
the mounting position and the alignment of the sensor itself can
be continuously used for the widest variety of objects.
This means that no setup effort is required for the sensor when
changing products.
