Pepperl+Fuchs - One platform for many tasks
Vision sensors are usually designed for individual specific tasks. The SmartRunner Explorer 3-D product family from Pepperl+Fuchs, however, offers solutions for a wide range of applications. According to the manufacturer, its technology creates a significantly larger data basis in comparison and thus opens up new application possibilities. Two variants - Stereo Vision and Time of Flight (ToF) - are based on the same platform with the same housing, standardized user software and data output.the Stereo Vision variant has two high-resolution cameras that generate a precise 3D point cloud image. For example, you can inspect and count defined objects or measure the volume of amorphous masses. The ToF version of the sensor has a camera with VGA resolution (640 × 480 px) and offers a measurement rate of 30 Hz. It is particularly suitable for applications with a larger measuring range where short response times are required. Its data can be used, for example, to control driverless transport systems.
