SmartRunner Laser Light Sensors

Reliable Profile Detection with Laser Light Section Technology

Based on the proven laser light section method, SmartRunner technology employs a laser line and a camera to
precisely detect height profiles using the triangulation principle. The advantages of the laser light section
method over typical vision sensors are especially clear in difficult ambient conditions. No external lighting is
required, even with low-contrast objects such as metal on metal and single-color plastics. Even different
surfaces, different colors, and extraneous light do not influence the measurement result.

SmartRunner technology offers the following innovative features

  • Unique combination of height profile and 2-D image output in a single sensor
  • Easy interpretation of line data due to output of 2-D images
  • Simple diagnosis by analyzing error images
  • Sensors optimized for specific applications for easy integration or raw data devices for maximum flexibility

Sheet Verification Vision Sensors

Reliable Monitoring of Printed Sheets with Combined Image and Code Comparison

Vision sensors support fast and easy monitoring of defined sheets in incorrect sheet detection applications. In the printing industry, these sheet verification sensors are used in folding, collating, and binding machines.
