High-Accuracy 3D Measurement Smart Camera

In a product study of the LineRunner400 (LR400), Pepperl+Fuchs presents the world’s first multi-line laser light sensor as a smart camera for three-dimensional object measurement.

Based on the triangulation principle, an object can be measured two dimensionally in X and Y directions in standstill, or three-dimensionally in movement, when captured several times with a laser light sensor. A three-dimensional measurement in standstill is not possible with common laser light sensors.

Using several laser light lines, the LR400 laser sensor can accurately measure an object without movement. The LR400 holds the complete evaluation of measured data on the sensor and can therefore be used as a standalone laser sensor without a PC. Unlike conventional camera technology, the laser light process guarantees robust measurements, even with various object and background colors and ambient light. Laser protection class 1 spares the user of complex and expensive protective measures.

With these excellent features, the LR400 laser sensor can be used in many applications such as presence checks, 3D shape measurement, position control, height control, volume measurement and tolerance control.
