The document summarizes Pepperl+Fuchs R201 retroreflective photoelectric sensors that reliably detect transparent bottles in high-output bottling plants. The sensors ensure efficient bottle flow monitoring and counting by detecting each bottle with a reflector despite challenges like bottle transparency and optical interference. The R201 sensors offer impressive detection of transparent objects even over wide ranges and resist interference. They are well-suited to reliably detect clear glass and PET bottles moving at high speeds on conveyor belts.

switching and incorrect bottle counting must be prevented—
even during high-speed operation.
