The SmartRunner Detector and the SmartRunner Matcher are the first two representatives of this innovative product family. Learn more about these preconfigured, application-specific sensors, and watch how they work...
Key features of these Light Section Sensors with SmartRunner Technology from Pepperl+Fuchs (P+F) include:
- Unique combination of light section technology and vision sensor opens up a variety of new applications
- Recording of error images for machine diagnostics
- Parameterization via Data Matrix control codes (i.e. for setting the region of interest)
- Complex data is transformed into easy-to-process digital signals
- Plug-and-play: optimized sensors preconfigured and ready to use for one specific application
SmartRunner Matcher - Profile Recognition Sensors
Specializing in Profile Comparisons
- Reliable prevention of damage and defective production from mistakes and collisions
- Optimized and preconfigured for the comparison of height profiles
- Correct positioning of an object is identified and recognized
- Ensuring accuracy in robotic gripping systems through detection of object contour, positioning, and distance
- Preventing unplanned downtime
- Ready for Operation in Minutes with simple commissioning
- Just mount & align to the desired profile
- Then program using teach-in—the reference contour is programmed and the machine process can begin
- Application-specific evaluation is integrated directly into the sensor
- Producing easy-to-process digital signals (instead of raw data)
- Offering direct connection to the control system without much effort
- Adaptation to system changeovers is quicker and easier than ever with the teach-in or Data Matrix control codes
SmartRunner Detector - Area Monitoring Sensors
Specializing in High-Precision Monitoring
- Reliable protection of sensitive machine parts (such as expensive optics or precision tools)
- Compares height profiles using light section technology
- Easily installed thanks to the swiveling connection
- Factory optimization makes this plug-and-play device extremely easy to commission
- Detects even the smallest fault or deviation from previously taught background
- Offers freely definable detection areas or regions of interest (ROI) without triggering a digital signal
- Simultaneous evaluation of the laser line on both the object and the background increases reliability
