4.2 Protrusion detection (vertical placement)

The UST can be installed vertically. Figure 4.2 shows the application of protrusion detection.
For the protrusion detection of cargo from the shelf of an automatic warehouse, install the sensor vertically
on the back side so that the detection surface covers the back side of the shelf. If cargo enters the detection
surface a warning signal can be triggered, and equipment for position adjustment of cargo can be operated.
