P3 Laser Dis­tan­ce Sen­sors Tri­an­gu­la­ti­on

Where complex sha­pes are me­asu­red, sur­fa­ces and co­lors of ob­jects vary, maximum pre­ci­si­on in the mic­ro­me­ter range and temperature-​stable me­asu­red va­lu­es are required, the tri­an­gu­la­ti­on laser dis­tan­ce sen­sors from the P3 se­ri­es un­le­ash their un­ri­va­led per­for­man­ce – thanks, among other things, to the unique Trip­leA tech­no­logy. CMOS sen­sors can be used for va­ri­o­us app­li­ca­ti­ons at dis­tan­ces of up to 1,000 mm. The P3 sen­sors de­tect even small dif­fe­ren­ces in he­ight with rep­ro­du­ci­bi­lity of up to 0.8 µm using a highly ac­cu­ra­te tri­an­gu­la­ti­on pro­cess.

Com­pa­ri­son of P3 Se­ri­es De­signs

The P3 se­ri­es is ava­ilab­le in two dif­fe­rent de­signs: the 3P de­sign (P3PC) and the 3E de­sign (P3EC). In cont­rast to the P3PC sen­sors, which have a working range from 30 mm to 660 mm, the P3EC dis­tan­ce sen­sors offer an extended working range from 150 mm to 1,000 mm. The P3EC sen­sors are the­re­fo­re ide­ally su­ited for me­asu­ring tasks in a working range of up to 1,000 mm.

P3 laser distance sensors jump detection animation

Jump de­tec­ti­on is one func­ti­on of the P3 laser dis­tan­ce sen­sors. The chan­ges in the me­asu­red value, i.e. the jumps, are eva­lu­ated rat­her than the ab­so­lu­te dis­tan­ces. Jump de­tec­ti­on can be used as an edge co­un­ting met­hod, e.g. when co­un­ting newspapers on a con­ve­yor.

Thick­ness and Dif­fe­ren­ti­al Me­asu­re­ment without Analy­sis Mo­du­le

P3PC laser distance sensor width and thickness measurement

Laser tri­an­gu­la­ti­on sen­sors are ar­ran­ged op­po­si­te each other for thick­ness me­asu­re­ment. The sen­sors use the tri­an­gu­la­ti­on met­hod to de­tect the dis­tan­ce to the ob­ject and cal­cu­la­te the thick­ness of the me­asu­red ob­ject from both va­lu­es.

  • Me­asu­re­ment re­sults can be read di­rectly on the disp­lay without an analy­sis mo­du­le and prog­ram­ming in the cont­rol unit

  • Easy cab­ling and auto­ma­tic con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on with op­ti­onal con­nec­ti­on cable

  • Con­tact­less pro­duct thick­ness me­asu­re­ment


 

P3PC laser distance sensor width and thickness measurement
For dif­fe­ren­ti­al me­asu­re­ment, laser dis­tan­ce sen­sors are ar­ran­ged next to each other. A sen­sor me­asu­res the dis­tan­ce to a backg­ro­und, for example a con­ve­yor belt, and anot­her sen­sor me­asu­res to the ob­ject. The dif­fe­ren­ce between the two me­asu­red va­lu­es is cal­cu­la­ted and out­put di­rectly by the main sen­sor.
 

  • Pre­ci­se he­ight me­asu­re­ment even on une­ven backg­ro­unds

  • Con­tact­less pro­duct he­ight me­asu­re­ment

  • Me­asu­re­ment re­sult can be read di­rectly on the disp­lay

In­ten­sity Eva­lu­ati­on for Part Cont­rol

P3 laser distance sensors intensity evaluation animation
The laser dis­tan­ce sen­sors eva­lu­ate not only the me­asu­red dis­tan­ce, but also the light in­ten­sity re­ce­ived from the ob­ject. This is how cont­rast dif­fe­ren­ces are de­tec­ted.
 

  • Easy part mo­ni­to­ring for he­ight and color

  • Error mo­ni­to­ring for the hig­hest pro­duct quality

  • De­tec­ti­on of trans­pa­rent ob­jects with cons­tant backg­ro­und

Laser Expertise for Chal­len­ging App­li­ca­ti­ons

Blue Laser for Challenging Surfaces

Blue Laser for Challenging Surfaces

Laser distance sensors with blue diode are very well suited for red-hot or organic surfaces, polished metals, shiny plastic surfaces or dark paints. The short-wave blue laser light does not penetrate as deeply into the surface, resulting in high accuracy.


 

Fine Laser with Small Light Spot

Fine Laser with Small Light Spot

The P3 laser distance sensors are equipped with a focused laser light spot with a spot diameter of just 0.5 to 1.5 mm. They therefore offer ideal conditions for detecting and measuring the smallest objects. The small light spot also enables precise switching behavior on edges.

Upgradable Laser Class

Upgradable Laser Class

The CMOS sensors are equipped with eye-safe laser class 1, warning signs and safety measures are not necessary. If required, the laser class can be upgraded to laser class 2 with an optionally available license in order to enhance the performance in applications with very dark objects and extremely high speeds.

High User-​Friendliness and In­tu­iti­ve Set­ting

On-​Site Ad­just­ment via App

P3 laser distance sensors Bluetooth interface animation
The weCon app enab­les mo­bi­le pa­ra­met­ri­za­ti­on and data trans­fer of the P3 dis­tan­ce sen­sors. Pa­ra­met­ri­za­ti­on can be car­ri­ed out easily via Blu­eto­oth app. This func­ti­on makes the pro­cess much easi­er, es­pe­ci­ally with sen­sors that are dif­fi­cult to ac­cess or ins­tal­led in large num­bers, as it allows the in­di­vi­du­al sen­sors to be pa­ra­me­te­ri­zed quickly.
