Sensors play an essential role in machine control and automation. They provide information about cans as they move through the canmaking process, providing feedback on the motion, position, distance and proximity of product. Machine control sensors are also used to protect the expensive tooling within the machines on the production line.

Sencon’s high performance sensors are specially designed metal sensing devices which are ideal for highly demanding control applications in canmaking machines such as bodymakers, printers, spray machines, and neckers. Sencon sensors have a global reputation for optimum performance and durability with unique features which are specially designed for the canmaking industry. These include: sensing fields optimized for detecting cans on conveyors; electronics developed for maximum stability; immunity from static discharge; casings that are highly resistant to mechanical crushing. All of which means fewer replacements, less downtime, improved productivity, and therefore long-term cost savings.
