In today’s automated production processes, laser distance sensors provide non-contact measurements for fast and highly accurate measurement of objects for reliable inline quality control and optimum process efficiency.
SICK’s Tim1 and Tim2 2D LiDAR sensors have been developed with simplicity and economy in mind to enable the rapid set-up of area monitoring, presence detection and collision avoidance, even in the smallest of machine spaces.
The perceived quality of smooth, defect-free surfaces is determined by the look and feel, colour and shape consistency of the surface.
Achieving simple and effective confirmation of process transparency would be high on most system operators’ wish list. For example, what medium is currently in the tank? Is the process proceeding as planned? Or are the values outside of the tolerance limits?
ifm electronics will be showcasing the edgeGateway – a reliable connection between sensors and IT – at this year’s PPMA Show.
