Pepperl+Fuchs Photoelectric Distance Sensors: Intelligent Precision

Pepperl+Fuchs engineers produce distance-based photoelectric sensors that utilize the innovative measuring principles of PRT (Pulse Ranging Technology) and MPT (Multi Pixel Technology). This integrated intelligence ensures the highest levels of precision and safety during object detection.

1. PRT (Pulse Ranging Technology): Medium to Very Long Ranges

PRT is designed to detect objects at distances from a few centimeters to several hundred meters with millimeter precision. Thanks to intelligent sensor electronics, PRT allows highly accurate, reliable, and clear measurements with high repeatability and fast response times, even with difficult environmental conditions.

• VDM28 Series: Offers stable production processes due to high immunity and resistance to environmental influences. Provides a wide range of applications through the availability of switching and measuring sensors, including with IO-Link.

• VDM100 Series: Increases productivity with ultra-fast, continuous measurement and high reliability, boasting a measuring range of up to 300 m and an accuracy of 0.5 mm.

Typical PRT Applications: Positioning of automated storage and retrieval systems, portal cranes, level measurement, compartment occupied check, and thickness measurement of coils.

2. MPT (Multi Pixel Technology): Near-Range Applications

MPT uses the proven triangulation principle for the precise measurement of shorter distances. It clearly distinguishes target objects from the background, while adjustable operating modes reliably suppress interfering objects.

• R10x and R20x Series: Offer an end-to-end solution of photoelectric functional principles and innovative technologies in an identical housing. Equipped with IO-Link, the series meet all the requirements of Sensorik4.0.

Typical MPT Applications: Simple and complex applications, detection of objects with changing surface and structure, evaluation of multiple switching thresholds, and applications in highly fluctuating ambient conditions.

3. 2-D LIDAR Sensors

The optimized portfolio of 2-D LIDAR sensors offers solutions from basic to high-end applications.

• R2000 UHD 2-D Laser Scanner: Features a small light spot, 360 degrees measuring angle, and a detection range of up to 100 m. Optimized for quick measurement applications with a high scan rate of 100 Hz and the highest angular resolution of 0.014 degrees.

• R2100 Multi-Ray LED Scanner: Guarantees maximum robustness and cost efficiency. LED measurement ensures a long service life. Ideal for mechanically demanding applications as there are no moving parts in the sensor.

Typical 2-D LIDAR Applications: Navigation of driverless transport systems, profile detection in robotics, collision avoidance, and highly precise monitoring of large areas.
