LMS4xx / LMS400 / Indoor / Short Range

At a glance

The Level Control application integrated in the senor is, with its gapless scanning surface, able to perform "shadowless" detection of objects in containers. Smaller objects, regardless of color, are detected at any place in the container
Large dynamic measurement range of 0.7 m to 3 m
High ambient light compatibility
Robust design
High angle resolution
Ideal for Vision applications on object sizes of pallets
The integrated Level Control application replaces a number of sensors and drastically reduces the effort required for wiring and programming.
Reliable evaluation at higher conveyor speeds
Neither shading nor artificial lighting is necessary
Installation at positions beyond the robot collision area is possible
Varying installation heights not needed due to the large scanning field
