ifm efector 3 d图像传感器测量尺寸,shape and volume of objects in industrial automation applications. The 3D sensor provides critical information in applications such as palletizing and de-palletizing, bulk level of materials, level of food products, level of product on conveyors, material handling, logistics, and intelligent routing/sorting. The 3D Image Sensor combines photonic mixing device (PMD) technology with reliable time of flight (TOF) distance measurement. In operation, the 3D sensor sends a light pulse to the target object. This pulse is reflected by the object back to the sensor’s smart pixel receiver element. A comparison between the optical and electrical reference signals yields an output signal that carries the desired distance information. For image capture, the 3D sensor’s 64 x 48 pixel array projects 3,072 points of reference onto the object. Robust metal housing measures only 42 x 62 x 42 mm and is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments and to perform in fast-moving applications. Application parameters are quickly established with the sensor’s setup wizard software that can be used with a PC. The sensor can provide either digital or analog outputs.
