Reliable sensor technology for stretch-hood wrapping machines
Fast, efficient load securing at high cycle rates.
Sensors for varying pallet heights, unstable loads and high cycle rates: our sensor solutions automatically adapt to different pallet heights and formats, from Euro pallets to custom pallets. In the case of unstable or irregular loads, sensors detect critical areas and ensure the stretch hood is pulled down securely and without misalignment. Reliable sensors for high-maintenance sections: on machines exposed to high mechanical stress during hood stretching and pulling, our rugged sensor solutions provide precise control of gripper arms, heating elements and film handling even in continuous operation.
