Mechanical Set-Up (Heat Dissipation) - Baumer VeriSens ID Series Technical Documentation Manual

6.2 Mechanical set-up (heat dissipation)

# ATTENTION!
The device may become very warm during operation. High temperatures may damage the
device. It is vital to ensure that heat is dissipated by appropriate assembly.
Direct mounting on a solid metal (aluminium) object without using a retaining bracket is
required when operated in the limit zone (e.g. full load on the flash controller and
utilisation of the maximum operating temperature)!
If there is a protective foil on the back of the vision sensor, it must be removed during the
final integration into the machine at the latest so that there is sufficient heat transfer to the
metallic connection!
The following are our recommendations for installation of the device to dissipate heat:

Install the mounting bracket across the full surface of the device and also across the full surface onto
heat conductive material on the system (aluminium profile 60 mm x 60 mm). In the case of devices
with integrated Industrial Ethernet, the offered mounting bracket should consist of 12 mm thick
aluminium; or a rear bracket at least comparable in rear attachment and heat dissipation capacity
should be used.

Avoid mounting onto stainless steel. Stainless steel has a roughly 10-fold lower thermal conductivity
compared to aluminium.

Do not install the device at the end of a profile; this will allow heat to dissipate on both sides (higher
temperature drops over a larger area)!

Matt coated surfaces (irrespective of colour) and anodised surfaces dissipate heat better than bare
metal surfaces (heat radiation). Use coated or anodised profiles for installing the device.

Every form of convection around the device and mounting helps reduce temperature. Prevent heat
from becoming trapped!

Do not operate other devices in close proximity to the Vision Sensor. Their waste heat could
additionally heat the Vision Sensor.
