Accurate movement and positioning of the material tray are crucial in the manufacturing process of 3C mobile phones. This is related to the efficiency of the production line and the quality of the products. Traditional sensors may not be able to meet this demand due to their large size, limited installation space, or insufficient detection accuracy.
In this issue, Xiao Ming will share with you the EFL series of mini players in Akusense optoelectronic family. With its ultra-thin size and excellent performance, it has become an ideal choice to solve this difficult problem.
Application scenario
A well-known 3C mobile phone manufacturer needs to check the movement of the material tray on its production line; The material tray is loaded with various components required for mobile phone manufacturing, such as chips, screens, etc. These trays need to be precisely moved on the production line so that robotic arms or other automated equipment can accurately grasp and place components.
Selection Recommendation

The Akusense ultra-thin photoelectric EFL series is selected. This sensor has a thickness of only 4mm and can be easily installed on the side or above the moving track of the tray without taking up too much space.
When the tray moves to the sensor detection area, the sensor emits infrared light and receives the reflected light signal. By detecting changes in the light signal, the sensor can accurately detect whether the discharge tray is in place.

1. Detection accuracy of 1mm: Due to its compact size and advanced optoelectronic technology, the sensor can achieve high-precision detection. In this case, the sensor is able to stably detect objects with a minimum size of 1mm, meeting the accuracy requirements of the production line.
2. Response speed ≤ 1ms: Meiji ultra-thin photoelectric sensors have a fast response speed and can complete detection and output signals in a very short time. This helps ensure the smoothness and efficiency of the production line.
3. Anti interference capability: The sensor is equipped with a built-in digital filter, which can effectively prevent external photoelectric interference and improve the stability and reliability of detection
After introducing Akusense ultra-thin photoelectric sensors, the equipment of this 3C mobile phone manufacturer can operate smoothly. The sensors can accurately and quickly detect the movement of the discharge tray in place, providing reliable signal input for robotic arms or other automation equipment.
At the same time, due to the small size and easy installation of sensors, manufacturers can flexibly adjust the layout and configuration of the production line, further improving the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.
