Use and Application

This manual applies to the SmartRunner Detector (hereafter referred to as sensor). The sensor
monitors a defined area and detects objects smaller than 1 mm.
The sensor is based on the SmartRunner technology and combines the light section method
with a 2D Vision sensor including LED illumination.
An emitter optic is used to project a laser line onto an object as part of the light section method.
This is detected by a camera at a specific angle. A height and width profile is created using the
triangulation principle. This laser technology provides reliable measurements on different sur-
faces.
The integrated camera function, including LED lighting, enables parameterization using Data-
Matrix control codes as well as the recording of error images for quick and targeted intervention
in the event of process disruptions.
