Sectors and application areas
Mechanical and special mechanical engineering
- Maximized system availability: Independent of the material, the laser distance sensor measures reliably and reproducibly at a consistent quality. This allows, for example, time-saving automatic position indication of tools for processing.
- Reduced waste: Laser distance sensors guarantee high reproducibility of the processing step, even for frequently alternating products.
Electronics industry
- Reduced waste: Laser distance sensors allow the reliable positioning of the tools on a great variety of surfaces, such as glossy PCB substrates or metallic surfaces.
- Increased throughout and flexibility: Quick inline measurement eliminates pre-configured program sequences and ensures the quick processing of a great variety of work pieces.
Automotive and automotive supplier industry
- Master a mix of variations: Thanks to the dynamic laser power compensation according to the characteristics of the measured object, a variety of objects with different surfaces and colors can be reliably measured.
- Increased throughput: The precise and quick positioning of the parts in combination with an installation robot ensures processing without waiting periods.
Technology
Precise distance measurement
The operational principle of triangulation in combination with intelligent evaluation algorithms ensures the highest precision up to the micrometer range.
Measurement stability
The stability of the measured values can also be guaranteed on rough and structured surfaces thanks to the fine-line beam shape. Thus, not the structure itself, but the object to be measured can be reliably measured.
Independency of surface
The optical distance sensors by Baumer automatically adapt to different object colors and brightness levels by optimizing their exposure time accordingly.This makes them independent in terms of the reflectivity of an object.
Reliable measurement despite challenging ambient conditions
Thanks to an intelligent method for ambient light suppression, the laser distance sensors from Baumer are exceptionally resistant to critical ambient light effects.
Optimized results thanks to parameterization
Optimal measurement results are provided by a variety of parameterization options, such as filters or the suppression of invalid measurement results that are available in the entire portfolio, guaranteeing absolutely reliable measurements.
Standardization
Directly integrated into the sensor head, the digital interfaces facilitate integration and configuration of the sensors. Without the need for any additional controller units.
