Datasheets

SmartRunner sensors combine the light section method (laser triangulation) for height profile detection with a 2D vision sensor, producing highly specialised, easy-to-use sensors.

  • SmartRunner Matcher (VLM): compares the detected profile with a previously taught-in reference contour and reports deviations in shape or position with a "good/bad" output; presence, completeness and position checking of components.
  • SmartRunner Detector (VLD): the laser line is projected onto a wall or fixed background taught in by the user; if an obstruction enters the monitoring field, the sensor supplies a switching signal.
  • SmartRunner Explorer (VLE): outputs raw height profile and 2D image data via Ethernet TCP/IP with the supplied DLL, for measurement and quality control applications on a PC.

Key features

  • Reliable profile matching regardless of surface structure, lighting or ambient light
  • Parameterisation via Data Matrix control codes or software
  • X range up to 345 mm and Z range up to 700 mm
  • Scan rate up to 30 Hz
  • Compact 55 × 38 × 85 mm housing, IP67
