Sensors Offering PRT and Typical Applications

The 2-D laser scanners (2-D LiDAR sensors) of the R2000 series offer complete all-round visibility in fast-moving applications. The switching and measurement-taking versions open up a whole host of application options in business sectors such as logistics, transportation, and material handling. These scanners can also be put to use in innovative applications, such as monitoring functions in building automation and transport systems.

• High measuring frequency
• Precise light spot
• Visible measurement beam
• Integrated 360° display
• Measuring range of 0.2 m to 50 m with an accuracy of 12 mm

With their high angular resolution, the LiDAR sensors of the R2300 series detect even the smallest object structures and contours with absolute reliability. While the multilayer scanner is ideal for 3-D measurements, the single-layer scanner is designed for high-speed applications.

• Multilayer scanner with four scan planes
• Single-layer scanner with a scan rate of 100 Hz
• High angular resolution of 0.1°
• Switchable, visible pilot laser

The R2100 Multiray LED scanner (2-D LiDAR sensor) provides a two-dimensional surface measurement due to multiple LED emitters arranged next to each other. Eleven light spots ensure reliable detection of any surface, regardless of shape or structure. This makes the R2100 the best solution for challenging indoor and outdoor applications in mobile equipment, intralogistics and machine and plant engineering.

• Two-dimensional measurement with no moving parts
• Multiple, wide-beam emitters ensure reliable object detection regardless of surface structure
• Measurement using eye-safe LED technology
• 88° scanning angle
• Measuring range of 0.2 m to 8 m

The R1000 provides maximum precision for positioning tasks—with an accuracy of < 1 mm over a measuring range of up to 150 m. Due to its compact housing, the distance sensor can be integrated into particularly small machines or lifting applications.

• Accuracy of < 1 mm
• Range up to 150 m
• Compact sensor in a robust metal frame
• Optional adjustment device for precise fine alignment
• Laser class 1 for eye-safe use

Large distances in small spaces: The R200 photoelectric distance sensor integrates Pulse Ranging Technology in a compact standard housing—for measurements up to 60 m away. This makes the sensor suitable for use in high-bay warehouses, on conveyor systems, or on monorail conveyors in automotive manufacturing.

• High-precision distance measurement up to 10 m
• Detection ranges up to 60 m with reflector
• Compact design of 15 x 41.7 x 50.6 mm
• Repeat accuracy of +/- 3 mm
• IO-Link interface with Smart Sensor Profile

The all-rounder for measuring and monitoring: The sensors in the VDM28 series cover an unparalleled range of applications and can be universally used for measuring and monitoring tasks in automation technology.

• High level of resistance against environmental influences
• Immune to ambient light and mutual interference
• Standard sensor housing facilitates connection and assembly
• Measuring range of 0.2 m to 50 m with an accuracy of 5 mm
