Position Monitoring of the Running Wheels of Robots by Laser Distance Sensors Time of flight

In a block storage system, robots take over the transport of storage containers. To ensure precise movement of the robots on the rails of the storage system, two time-of-flight laser distance sensors are mounted between the wheels. During left/right movement, the sensors check that the wheels for forward/reverse movement are off the rail. Only then do they release the signal. At the same time, it is monitored whether the wheels are correctly and completely seated in the guide rail for the new direction of movement. If this is the case, the robot starts moving.

Laser Distance Sensors Time of Flight

Laser distance sensors Time-of-Flight (ToF) work according to the principle of transit time measurement, which means that they cover large working ranges up to 10,000 mm, so that objects can be reliably detected even at great distances. The ToF sensors are extremely robust against interfering ambient light, which ensures reliable operation.
