Laser Safety For repair and service purposes, the sensors must always be sent to the manufacturer. If the sensor is on the laser output can be reduced to 8 mW with the software. Reducing the laser output to 1 mW is not possible. Reducing the laser output from 20 mW to 8 mW with a software affects not the laser class! Beam attenuator Fig.
Functional Principle, Technical Data Functional Principle, Technical Data Short Description 3.1.1 Measuring Principle The scanCONTROL 29xx sensor operates according to the principle of optical triangulation (light intersection method): - A laser line is projected onto the target surface via a linear optical system. - The diffusely reflected light from the laser line is replicated on a sensor array by a high quality optical sys- tem and evaluated in two dimensions.
Functional Principle, Technical Data 3.1.4 Advantages of the Used Sensor Array (Difference to Conventional Video Arrays) - A global shutter (high speed shutter) for the whole profile enables a high profile accuracy for fast moving objects without “tilting”. - The array enables the simultaneous exposure and reading of the previous image. Thus, the exposed time can be longer with the same profile frequency, and therefore dark objects can be measured at high speed.

- The minimum bending radii of the recommended cables for flexible laying must not be less 80 mm. - MICRO-EPSILON recommends the use of the optionally available power supply PS2020, DIN rail mount- ing, input 230 VAC, output 24 VDC/2.5 A.
Operating and Demonstration Programs For sensor operation, several programs are available. You will find them online on the sensor product website or in the Download area: https://www.micro-epsilon.com/2D_3D/laser-scanner/Software/downloads/ - The scanCONTROL Developer Tool program supports scanner parameterization and user-friendly visual- ization of profile data.
Operation of the Sensor with a PC Installation 6.3.1 Requirements The following minimum system specification is necessary for the operation of the scanCONTROL software packages: scanCONTROL Configuration Tools - Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1, Windows 10 (each 32 bit and 64 bit) - 1-GHz or faster (32 bit and 64 bit) / min.
Operation of the Sensor with a PC Instructions for Operation 6.4.1 Measuring Field Selection The optical design of the sensor satisfies the so-called “Scheimpflug condition” which ensures optimum mapping over the complete measuring range. In doing so, the measuring range is mapped on a rectangu- lar matrix.

Operation of the Sensor with a PC The measuring field can be restricted by omitting complete matrix areas in order to suppress interfering im- age ranges. The following measuring fields are used in the demonstration program, see Chap. 6.2. Name Index Large Standard...
Operation of the Sensor with a PC 6.4.2 Calibration The calibration of the sensor is performed using the entire matrix and is independent from the selected mea- suring field. The trapezoidal shape of the measuring field results from the projection onto the sensor matrix. The standard measuring range is framed in the center.
Operation of the Sensor with a PC 6.4.3 Automatic Exposure Time Regulation The automatic exposure time regulation facilitates the recording of the profile with optimum exposure time (shutter time). The Exposure time preset by the user is used as the starting value for the automatic exposure time regu- lation.

Operation of the Sensor with a PC Error Influences 6.5.1 Reflection of the Target Surface The sensor basically evaluates the diffuse portion of the laser line reflections. Any statement about a mini- mum reflection factor is only possible with reservations. A preliminary examination is necessary for using the sensor on transparent or reflecting objects.
Operation of the Sensor with a PC 6.5.4 External Light An interference filter in the sensor is present for suppression of external light. In general, the shielding of external light directly emitted on the target or reflected in the sensor must be ensured using protective covers or similar.
Operation of the Sensor with a PC 6.5.7 Shadowing Effects - Receiver: The laser line can disappear completely or partially behind steep edges. The receiver then does not „see“ these areas. - Laser line: The fan-shaped form of the laser line inevitably results in partial shadowing at vertical edges. In order to make these areas visible, only changing the sensor or object position helps.
scanCONTROL Output Unit Cleaning We recommend cleaning the protective windows at regular intervals. Dry cleaning This can be accomplished with an anti-static lens brush or by blowing off the windows with dehumidified, clean, oil-free compressed air. Moist cleaning Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or lens cleaning paper and pure alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) to clean the pro- tective window.
