Use and Application
This manual applies to the light section sensors VLM350-F280-2E2-1000, VLM350-F280-R4-
1001
and
VLM350-F280-R4-1101 (hereafter referred to as sensor). The sensor compares
current height profiles with a previously taught-in height profile. The sensor is based on
SmartRunner technology and combines the light section method for detecting height profiles
with a 2-D vision sensor.
An emitter optic is used to project a laser line onto an object as part of the light section method.
This is detected by a camera at a specific angle. A height and width profile is created using the
triangulation principle. This laser technology provides reliable measurements on different
surfaces.
The sensor is commissioned and operated using the Vision Configurator software. In addition,
preset parameters can be transferred to the sensor via Data Matrix control codes. In this way
you have the opportunity to quickly adapt the settings to the conditions of the measuring
environment and the measuring object without using a laptop in case of replacement.

Overview of components and measurement result
The SmartRunner has an optimized hardware and software platform. It is available in different
versions for specific applications. The device is certified according to laser protection class 1.
Features of the sensor
The sensor, optimized and pre-configured for comparing height profiles, offers protection from
damage and from the production of rejects. An object is identified by comparing with stored
reference profiles, which detects whether the object is in the correct position. This means
gripping processes, such as in robotics, are always accurate.
