Infrared Laser Technology

Edge Detecting Sensor –

EDS

Short Range Lidar –

SRL 1

The Edge Detecting Sensor is used for guiding vehicles along

an edge or the scanning of non-refl ector targets

Performance

q Edge detection of the EDS is based on the principle of a

distance measurement with an infrared beam (time of flight)

q The EDS is protected by a highly robust housing. It is possible

to deploy the sensor under severe environmental conditions,

e.g. rain, dirt, varying temperatures, shock, vibrations etc.

q Distance: 7...40 m to target

q Accuracy to target: ± 100 mm

q Scan range: -5.7°…+5.7°

q Tracking range (inclination control): -2.1°…+2.1°

q Angle resolution: 0.143°± 0.008/step

q Temperature (operating/storage): -20…+70 °C/-40…+85 °C

q Protection rating: IP67 in compliance with IEC 529/EN 60529

q Interface/connections: CAN, RS-422

q Power supply: 10…18 V DC typ. 1.5 A

q Dimensions: 203 mm x 83 mm x 152 mm

q Weight: 2760 g

Applications

Two-dimensional edge detection

q Container loading

q Harvester guidance along the crop edge

from top of a combine harvester

q EDS sensor is able to detect edges at both sides of the

machine within an operating range from 7 m to 40 m

and a horizontal orientation of ± 6.38° ±0.8°

q The inclination of the sensor (vertical orientation) is adjusted

automatically within a range of ± 3.5° ±0.5° to correct

unevenness of the area, where the edge is detected

as well as movements of the machine

q EDS will provide data to steer the machine automatically along

the next pass of crop between two opposite headland turns

q The area in a confi gured distance is scanned permanently from

left to right and vice versa with a scan rate of 1.98 Hz ± 0.2 Hz

Anti-Collision Protection

System – AKL 500

Fast Detection of Non-Refl ector-

Targets – PLE 80

This system measures distance, relative velocity and

provides three warning thresholds

Performance

q The rugged AKL 500 G3 sensor simultaneously

measures distance, relative velocity and the relative

acceleration of targets with or without a reflector

indoor and outdoor to different distances

q A special feature of the device is that data can be

transmitted along the infrared measurement beam

q When certain pre-defined risk parameters are

exceeded during a motion cycle, the AKL 500 G3

and other components activate the anti-collision

system in order to prevent an accident

q Heavy industry

The Short Range Lidar can measure distance

and velocity of multiple objects

Performance

q The SRL 1 measures the distance to objects

without reflector by using the technique of the

ment of distance and velocity of multiple objects

in three independent measuring channels in

close-up range of up to 10 m
