SMALLEST TOF SENSOR DELIVERS BIG BENEFITS IN OBJECT DETECTION AND DISTANCE MEASUREMENTSensor specialist BAUMER has introduced what is claimed to be the smallest time-of-flight (ToF) sensor specifically developed for applications with limited installation space. The new versatile and reliable OT200 ToF sensor measures only 8 x 25.1 x 5.8mm and is designed to deliver outstanding performance - even in the most space-restricted and challenging conditions.
The OT series sensor offers a large detection range of up to 2.5m and a minimum response time of 4 ms whilst providing reliable detection of light-absorbing and reflective surfaces, even when the process involves ultra-black, shiny, or reflective objects. It has a measuring range of up to 2 m, so is suitable for a wide range of applications.
The sensor is designed to provide a consistently high performance, regardless of shape, structure, or material of the object to be detected. Thanks to the Baumer Sensor Suite software it's easy to operate and delivers intuitive parameterization.
Potential applications include Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV's) which are crucial for today's industrial logistics where sensors play a key role in their efficient operation.
One example is on fork width, which must be set exactly to the pallet width, the ultra-compact OT200 is ideal as it fits perfectly in the limited space of the fork. It can be directly mounted on the central suspension to ensure precise fork width monitoring.
Also, into tight spaces, such as moving inner parts of a machine or apparatus when as a smart reflect light barrier, it serves as an ejection control of an arm in automated order-picking systems in food & beverage, pharmaceutical, or in vending machine applications.
