ToF camera for automation technology

Schmersal is launching a 3D camera for the automated acquisition of digital process data in real time. The 'AM-T100' time-of-flight camera (ToF camera) generates 3D depth images with millimeter precision using a Sony DepthSense sensor.

The frame rate of the ToF camera is up to 60 fps. With IR illumination and an image resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, it achieves a field of view of 67° x 51° at a range of up to 6 m. The image data is made available via the standardized GenICam data interface and can be processed with common image processing software. An Ethernet interface enables data transmission and, if required, a 24 V power supply (Power over Ethernet). The 'Consam-T' configuration software is pre-installed. According to Schmersal, it can be used to configure the camera so that it monitors complex and individually defined 3D zones. If it detects an object within these zones, digital outputs are switched. In addition, digital inputs can be used to switch back and forth between different 3D zones.
