Detection of Hard Disks

Shiny material does not pose a problem for Q3X and Q4X sensors, which can determine if disks are inserted correctly

It is a challenge to detect whether shiny disks are correctly seated. Because disk surfaces are shiny, many sensors have difficulty detecting whether a hard disk is properly seated in a hard drive.

As a solution, the Q3X and Q4X sensors are installed above a conveyor transporting hard disks. Typically, shiny material poses a problem for conventional sensors. However, both the Q3X and Q4X were designed to detect shiny surfaces with a wide variety of colors, textures, and materials. When the sensing beam is directed onto a vertical specular surface, such as a properly seated hard disk, the sensor can determine if the disk has not been inserted correctly.
