Abstract:
A device, system, and method for detecting a covering sleeve on a container. A sleeve detection system includes a conveyor, a height profile acquisition device, and a processor in communication with the height profile acquisition device. The height profile acquisition device is configured to acquire height profiles of a tray traveling on the conveyor. The processor is configured to analyze height profiles received from the height profile acquisition device to determine a sleeve status of the tray. In some embodiments, a light gate is disposed across the conveyor and configured to detect the presence of a tray on the conveyor approaching the height profile acquisition device.

Claim (Index 2):
The tray processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one height profile sensor is configured to determine a plurality of height profiles of the tray on the conveyor, wherein the processor is configured to analyze the plurality of height profiles to determine the sleeve status of the tray, and wherein each of the plurality of height profiles corresponds to a different portion of the tray.
