Object Detection for Driverless Transport Vehicles (DTS) with Time-of-Flight Laser Distance Sensors

Driverless transport vehicles, such as forklift trucks, must find their way around large logistics centers in order to enable the safe and collision-free transport of goods. Two time-of-flight laser distance sensors are installed in the miniature housing of forklift trucks for object detection. Thanks to their small size, wintec sensors with red light fit perfectly into the fork tips and even detect black or highly reflective objects from distances of up to one meter.

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.
