These all-rounders are underestimated indeed: Smart 2D profile sensors are ready for use in no time and very versatile, for example in edge control. Four smart applications:
What is the exact object position on the belt? What is its height? Is the edge even? In lots of automated processes, this information is required to ensure smoothly running production. Most common are optical, inductive or ultrasonic sensors sometimes also cameras are deployed to collect such data. A versatile, lesser-known alternative are smart 2D profile sensors. In this report we show four examples where high-performance profile sensors from Baumer are particularly user-friendly and cost-effective solutions.
