Function

The SmartRunner Matcher compares current height profiles with a previously taught-in height profile. The Matcher is based on innovative SmartRunner technology and combines the light section method for detecting height profiles with a 2-D vision sensor. The light section method involves projecting a laser line onto an object. This is then detected by a camera at a specific angle. A height profile is then created using the triangulation principle. This innovative laser technology provides reliable measurements on different surfaces.
