The next generation in object detection

The DTECT^® Object 3D is the market’s first sensor based on the active stereo principle. Combining the power of active stereo vision with the simplicity of a sensor, it learns the part’s volume for real-time comparison during operation. This feature set makes it the perfect solution for many applications like part orientation on a bowl feeder track, missing parts in a pack or part present in conveyor feeding.

The intuitive operation of the DTECT^® Object 3D is supported by a color display on the device. The field of view or the relevant height can be adapted to the application quickly and easily using the appropriate buttons, all without external software. After the teach-in, the operational state or the sensor result of “Pass / Fail” is visualized by the illuminated frame that is visible from all sides. Further adjustments can also be made easily and intuitively using the IO-Link interface.

Applications

Easy as never before: intelligent position control and completeness monitoring.

Whether for vibrating conveyors or in assembly: With the DTECT^® Object 3D, reliable detection of object position or completeness is faster and easier than ever. For instance, the system reliably detects whether an object is in the prone or supine position on vibrating conveyors. The required pass or fail state can be taught in at the press of a button so that complex isolation mechanisms are often no longer necessary.

That saves time, and often substantial costs. The solution is also effective for the inspection of completeness with containers or assemblies: Deviations are detected reliably, entirely without time-consuming parameter configuration. This makes the system ideal for flexible production processes that demand efficiency and precision.
