  • Page 19: Applications

    Operating principle of the NAV350 The NAV350 has an opto-electronic laser measurement system that electro-sensitively scans the contour of its surroundings in a plane with the aid of laser beams. The NAV350 measures its surroundings in two-dimensional polar coordinates. If a measurement beam is incident on an object, the position is determined in the form of distance, direction and remission.
  • Page 20: Fig. 4: Principle Of Operation Of The Nav350

    Principle of operation of the NAV350 In addition to navigation and landmark detection, the NAV350 can output the surrounding contour measured to the vehicle computer connected (mixed mode). 8013889/ZML0/2017-06-09 © SICK AG · Germany · All rights reserved · Subject to change without notice...
  • Page 21: Fig. 5: Diffuse Reflection From Objects

    The incident radiation is not reflected diffusely in all directions by reflectors, but direction-- ally. As a result a large portion of the energy emitted can be received by the NAV350. The NAV350 makes use of this situation to be able to exactly measure the positions of reflec-- tors.
  • Page 22: Tab. 6: Typical Remissions And Scanning Ranges

    3.5.3 Scanning range of the NAV350 The scanning range of the NAV350 is dependent on the remission of the objects to be de-- tected. The better a surface reflects the incident radiation, the greater the scanning range of the NAV350.

    40). These reflector are either measured and their coordinates saved in the NAV350 or they are taught-in by the NAV350 (mapping). The NAV350 passes the position data to the AGV’s vehicle computer on request. The vehicle computer steers the AGV along the programmed and therefore pre-defined route and cor- rects any course deviations that occur with the aid of the NAV350.

    The vehicle is not moving. • There are at least three reflectors in the field of view of the NAV350. Depending on the number of measured reflectors and number of reflectors in the current layer, initial positioning can take several seconds.
  • Page 26: Fig. 12: Radius Of The Detection Window As A Function Of The Distance

    The radius of the detection window can also be configured as a function of the distance be- tween the NAV350 and the reflector. For this purpose the start and end point of a linear function and the size of the detection window at the start and end point are transferred to the NAV350.

  • Page 28 However, the setting cannot be saved. Important The reflector layout is to be designed such that for the NAV350 at least three reflectors are always visible in the sectors that are not muted. If this is not the case, the NAV350 determines the position using all visible reflectors (similar to the measuring accuracy, see section 3.7.2 “Measuring accuracy”...

    The situation of an overlapping reflector occurs if the angle between two reflectors from the point of view of the NAV350 is less than 0.6°. The reflector placement is to be selected for this case such there are at least 3 further reflectors in the field of view of the NAV350.

    The internal time stamp in the NAV350 is added to the measured data from the NAV350. The internal time stamp in the NAV350 is a 32-bit counter that counts up by 1 every 1 ms. To synchronise the internal time in the NAV350 with the system time in the vehicle’s control system, the NAV350 provides three options.
  • Page 35 3.9.6 Result Port The NAV350 features a Result Port, a simplyfied telegramme with its own port. The Result Port supplies landmark data and scan data parallely to the CoLa dialect. The Result Port can be configured via the SOPAS user interface. Alternatively, the Result Port may also configured using the CoLa diagrammes.

    For the NAV350 the mounting kit part no. 5311055 with mounting material is available. As an alternative you can use a strong stable mounting bracket that provides adjustable alignment of the NAV350 in the X- and Y axis. The NAV350 weighs approx. 2.4 kg (5.29 lb). 8013889/ZML0/2017-06-09...
  • Page 37: Tab. 8: Beam Diameter At Different Distances From The Nav350

    3.10.3 Distance between NAV350 and the object/surface to be measured The measurement area on the NAV350 starts at 0.5 m (1.64 ft) in front of the optics (light output window). To prevent false measurements, in the case of the recessed installation of the NAV350 the increase in the size of the laser beam with increasing distance is to be taken into account.
  • Page 38: Fig. 22: Absolute And Local Coordinate System With Angular Position Of The Nav350

    In this way the origin and axes for the absolute coordinate sys- tems are defined. In this coordinate system the NAV350 determines its absolute position in the X and Y direc- tion including the angular position α of its local coordinate system in relation to the abso- lute coordinate system.
  • Page 39: Fig. 23: Reflector Height As A Function Of The Distance From 0 To 70 M

    The maximum scanning range of the NAV350 is 70 m (229.66 ft) onto reflectors. It is possible to deter- mine the minimum reflector heights based on the characteristics of the floor and the meas- urement distance.
  • Page 40: Fig. 24: Correct, Asymmetrical Placement And Incorrect, Symmetrical Placement Of Reflectors

    3.10.6 Reflector placements Reflector placements are to be planned such that the NAV350 has a clear view of at least 3 reflectors in every position. A clear view of 4 to 5 reflectors is recommended to ensure reliable positioning even in the case of the operation of several AGV. As far as possible the same number of reflectors should be fitted to both sides of the route.
  • Page 41 2 reflectors must not be more than 120°. • At positions at which the NAV350 is placed on the route, there must be at least 4 to 6 reflectors in the measurement area of the NAV350. Also the angle between 2 reflectors must not be more than 120°.
