Moving object detecting method for use on conveyor, involves adapting time-offsets of individual signal characteristics of sensor axles to running time of object, and generating object detection signal from total signal characteristics

摘要

The method involves successively moving an object (6) to sensor axles with an object speed. Individual signal characteristics that are determined with the individual sensor axles are added to total signal characteristics in a time-delay manner. Time-offsets of the individual signal characteristics of the sensor axles are adapted to running time of the object between the sensor axles. An object detection signal is generated from the total signal characteristics, where the detection signal is a binary switch signal that is obtained by threshold evaluation of the total signal characteristics.
