Looking for a high-precision sensor with specific application capabilities? The SmartRunner from Pepperl+fuchs combines light section technology with 2-D vision!
This sensor is reliable regardless of surface texture and color... which is a hallmark of light section sensors. Ideal for detecting, monitoring and even protecting the smallest of objects! Using triangulation, the height profile of a contour is recorded and supplied for evaluation.
SmartRunner sensors are optimized and preconfigured to handle specific applications. The optics, camera, and evaluation logic are integrated into a compact housing and transform complex data into easy-to-process digital signals. Regardless of the task at hand, the user always receives a simple “good” or “bad” signal that can be taken directly to the control system.
The compact housing and a swiveling connection simplify integration, even in the tightest spaces. Using a deflection mirror to extend the base length allowed us to create an extremely compact housing without compromising performance.
The integrated camera also makes it possible to record images - you can document the complete process and assure top quality control! The recorded error images can be uploaded remotely, preventing trips to the factory floor and allowing easy monitoring of difficult-to-access machine areas.
Parameterization through Data Matrix control codes is also possible.
Easy setup is a key feature when commissioning SmartRunner sensors. With teach-in, you can customize specific application requirements in a few seconds—without a PC or special expertise. A revolutionary method for initial or reparameterization is available through the use of control codes: All sensor parameters can be given in a Data Matrix code. Simply placed in front of the vision camera, it will be instantly detected and decoded, and the sensor will automatically save the parameters contained within. This allows a large number of sensors to be put into operation easily and quickly.
If you are protecting expensive parts like optics or precision tools the SmartRunner Detector is your solution!
