Distance measurement is a fundamental sensing technology.
A wide variety of processes have been used to address different types of distance sensing applications. Pepperl+Fuchs now - in contrast to our competitors – offers a complete sensor family based entirely on the superior Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT). Customers will no longer have to rely on the phase correlation method or other similar chip-based processes. The advantages of such processes - moderate costs and acceptable levels of accuracy- have now been replaced by PRT.
The modern Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) delivers better parameters at a lower cost. Long range, accuracy, insensitivity to extraneous light, and attractive pricing combine to make an irresistible package. Concentrating on a single technology means Pepperl+Fuchs is the first supplier to offer the advantage of rapid and lower-cost developments. The Pepperl+Fuchs portfolio includes the following PRT distance measurement sensors:
Portfolio
The R2000 series combines standard sensors with latest measuring methods. Equipped with innovative Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT), the R2000 2-D laser scanners (also known as 2-D LiDAR sensors) provide reliable and extremely precise measuring results—with a gapless all-around visibility of 360°. Several versions are available: The R2000 UHD is suitable for complex measuring tasks and navigation. The R2000 HD is used for object profiling and robotic applications. The R2000 Detection is an easy-to-use laser scanner for demanding field monitoring applications.
Due to their high angular resolution, the LiDAR sensors of the R2300 series detect even the smallest object structures and contours with absolute reliability. While the multilayer scanner with four scanning planes ensures high reliability and cost-efficiency for 3-D measurements, the single-layer scanner with a scan rate of 100 Hz is ideal for high-speed applications. The switchable, visible pilot laser allows easy alignment and commissioning for all devices.
The R2100 Multi-Ray LED scanner (also known as 2-D LiDAR sensor) pushes the realm of possibility one step further by combining Pulse Ranging Technology with Ultra-IR LEDs and Multi-Ray Scan. Multiple LED transmitter elements arranged next to each other provide a two-dimensional surface measurement with eleven light spots. This ensures reliable detection of any surface, regardless of shape or texture. This makes the R2100 the best solution for challenging indoor and outdoor applications in mobile equipment, intralogistics or machine and plant engineering.
With ranges of up to 150 m and device dimensions of 55 x 116 x 81 mm, the compact R1000 distance sensor can be integrated even in particularly small machines or in lifting applications. Since the sensor with Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) features metal threaded holes as standard, mounting can be carried out directly at short measuring distances.
For the first time, state-of-the-art product design combines several photoelectric families of sensors with innovative technologies in one housing design. The powerful laser technology DuraBeam and PRT or MPT distance measurement ensure reliability and precision. With its built-in IO-Link functionality, the R10x and R20x series photoelectric sensors fulfill all requirements for Sensorik4.0. This all-round solution provides a unique flexibility and opens up a variety of possible applications.
The VDM28 distance sensor with Pulse Ranging Technology has a high immunity to ambient light and other environmental influences due to its large and precise optics. It is integrated in a compact housing of the standard distance sensor series 28. The possible uses of the universal talent VDM28 extend across numerous industrial areas, sectors, and applications.
