ZMX-3DE2500HF-Q7
272 × 208 pixels
1.2 Features and Indicators
LED indicators provide ongoing indication of sensing status.
1.3 Sample Application: Bin Fill
Use the ZMX Series in a variety of applications.
•
Gaylord volume fill level monitoring at a material handling facility
•
Continually monitoring the height of packages in a shipping container
•
Level monitoring of consumer or grocery items in a tote
•
Determine if an item is protruding over the top of a bin
•
Detect overfill of items within a defined region of interest
When boxes or other solid objects are collected in a bin, the true amount of space consumed is not accurately measured by
measuring the height at any one point. Inconsistent shapes and uneven stacking are common, leaving an uneven top
surface. Many other types of distance measurement sensors can give inconsistent readings. Sometimes their measurements
vary based on whether they hit a top surface object or a hole between objects. The ZMX sensor measures distance over a
•
3D Time of Flight technology detects peak fill height and volume within a large field
of view
•
Fits many applications with adjustable sensing height and field of view
•
Sensor monitors entire sensing region of interest, not a single point like an
ultrasonic or laser sensor
•
Completely self-contained, no controller or PC required
•
Deploy in minutes with only a few settings to define
•
Configurable sensing range up to 2.5 m for height monitoring
•
Define sensor field of view to monitor specific area of interest
•
Available in discrete and Pulse Pro outputs for simplified deployment; industrial
Ethernet communications available to integrate with the Smart Factory
•
Compact, rugged IP65 housing designed for industrial environments
