EMX – OPAX 1000

OPAX Opacity Sensor

Brand : EMX

The EMX OPAX-1000 is a high-precision online opacity and turbidity sensor designed for real-time quality inspection of transparent and semi-opaque containers in industrial production lines. It measures light transmission through materials such as bottles, films and packaging to determine their opacity level, helping manufacturers ensure proper light protection for sensitive products. The system is widely used in industries such as pharmaceutical, food and personal care packaging, where consistent opacity is critical for product integrity.

The sensor operates by passing a modulated light beam through a target and analyzing the received signal to determine relative opacity. It provides fast, continuous inspection with the ability to detect defective containers in real time, supporting high-speed production environments. With features such as calibration, adjustable sensitivity and digital display feedback, the OPAX-1000 enables precise setup and stable long-term monitoring directly on production lines.
