Reliable Detection for Smarter Industrial Automation
Detect objects, confirm positions, inspect products and monitor automated processes with industrial sensors selected for your exact application.
Orbital Mekatronik provides industrial sensor solutions for machines, packaging lines, conveyors, assembly systems and inspection equipment. Our range includes proximity, capacitive, photoelectric, fibre-optic, laser displacement, colour-mark, ultrasonic and area sensors.
We support OEMs, machine builders, system integrators and manufacturing plants with application-based sensor selection across India and international markets.
Incorrect sensor selection can result in false detection, missed products, irregular machine cycles and frequent production stoppages. A properly selected sensor solution can help you:
The correct choice depends on the target material, sensing distance, object size, background, speed, mounting space, environment and required output.
Our portfolio covers eight distinct sensing technologies. Select a tab to explore typical targets and applications for each technology.
Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Inductive proximity sensors are commonly used to detect metallic components, machine parts, gears, fixtures and end positions.
Typical Applications
Capacitive sensors can detect metallic and non-metallic materials. They are suitable for sensing plastics, glass, paper, powders, granules and liquids, including through certain non-metallic container walls.
Typical Applications
Photoelectric sensors use light to detect an object, change in contrast or interruption of a beam. Through-beam, retro-reflective and diffuse sensing arrangements can be selected according to the target and installation.
Typical Applications
Fibre-optic sensors use compact sensing heads that can reach narrow or difficult machine areas. They are useful for detecting small components where installation space is limited.
Typical Applications
Laser displacement sensors provide non-contact measurement of distance, position, height, thickness and surface variation. They are suitable where simple object detection is not enough and measured feedback is required.
Typical Applications
Colour-mark sensors detect printed registration marks and changes in colour or contrast. They help packaging and printing machines perform cutting, sealing, labelling and positioning at the correct point.
Typical Applications
Ultrasonic sensors use sound waves to detect objects or measure distance. They can be suitable for targets where colour, transparency or surface appearance makes optical sensing difficult.
Typical Applications
Area sensors monitor a wider detection zone than a single-point sensor. Bin and pick-to-light sensors can guide operators during part picking, assembly and material-handling processes.
Typical Applications
Detect pouches, bottles, caps, labels and printed registration marks. Sensor feedback can control filling, sealing, cutting, labelling and rejection operations.
Count products, identify gaps, detect jams and trigger sorting or rejection mechanisms on automated conveyor systems.
Confirm that the correct component is present, positioned and picked during manual or automated assembly.
Detect liquids, powders or granules in tanks, containers, hoppers and bins using a suitable capacitive or ultrasonic solution.
Measure component height, distance, thickness, alignment or surface variation without physical contact.
Confirm component availability, grip position, fixture status and placement before the next robot cycle begins.
Read colour or contrast marks so printed films can be cut, folded and sealed in the correct position.
Detect small components and confirm precise placement in machines with limited mounting space.
Sensor selection should begin with the target and operating conditions — not only the sensing distance. Testing with the actual target may be recommended where the material is transparent, reflective, very small or inconsistent.
For faster selection, share the target material, object size, sensing distance, machine speed, surrounding environment, mounting arrangement, existing sensor details and control output required.
