POSITIONING AUTONOMOUS TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

optoNCDT 1220 laser sensors are used to position automated guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots without collisions. The sensors measure the distance to a code tape, which enables precise positioning of the autonomous vehicle.

optoNCDT 1220 sensors are used for collision-free positioning of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) with Mecanum wheels. The compact laser sensors with a 500 mm measuring range are integrated into the AGV/AMR. They precisely measure the distance of the AGV/AMR from a metric code tape, which is then evaluated by a PGV camera.

Ideal for automation and OEM integration
The optoNCDT 1220 laser sensor offers a unique combination of compact design, versatility and measurement accuracy which is exceptional in this sensor class. Its high repeatability and an adjustable measuring rate of 1 kHz make the laser sensor ideally suited to precise measurements. The Active Surface Compensation (ASC) provides stable distance signal control regardless of target colour or brightness. As well as an analogue output, an RS422 interface is available which enables output of the distance values at full measuring rate.

Easy integration
This compact sensor has an integrated controller. Therefore, no external controller devices are required. This enables the sensor to be integrated into restricted installation space. Its low weight makes the laser sensor ideally suited to applications where high accelerations occur. Due to its excellent price/performance ratio, the sensor is ideal for automation tasks and OEM integration with a large number of pieces.

Ideal for distance control and position monitoring
The optoNCDT 1220 sensors are preferably used in applications that require high speed. Particularly with distance control tasks in industrial printers, robots and logistics processes, as well as the monitoring of packaging machines, these laser sensors impress with their high performance and compactness.
