Product Specifications
The integrated control interface of the sensor has been optimized by the factory to report
deviations from a previously programed contour. Via the profile comparison, the sensor
detects the recorded contour of an object, its correct location, and spacing. In case of a fault,
collisions and damage are safely eliminated and lengthy machine downtimes are therefore
avoided.
For this, the sensor is taught in to a specific height profile and a trigger executes a
reconciliation between the currently-recorded contour and the reference contour. A "good"
signal is produced if these are identical. If the two profiles differ, a "Bad" signal is produced.
