Laser light sensor VLM350-F280-2E2-1000
Function
The SmartRunner Matcher compares current height profiles with a previously taught-in height
profile. The Matcher is based on innovative SmartRunner technology and combines the light
section method for detecting height profiles with a 2-D vision sensor. The light section method
involves projecting a laser line onto an object. This is then detected by a camera at a specific
angle. A height profile is then created using the triangulation principle. This innovative laser
technology provides reliable measurements on different surfaces.
