Driver assistance and automated working processes increase both machine efficiency and safety when operating mobile machines. Thanks to three-dimensional detection of the machine environment and automated evaluation of scenes and objects, the newly developed O3M151 sensor from ifm electronic opens up a new dimension in sensor technology.
Similar to the comfort and safety functions in modern motor vehicles, such as distance sensors, rear view cameras or emergency brakes assist, the new powerful sensor offers automatic object recognition. This makes it possible to record more than 1000 distance values synchronously and to reliably detect and follow up to 20 objects. This function can, for example, be used as collision warning. Functions such as minimum, maximum and average distance with free segmentation of the field of view in three dimensions, offer innumerable degrees of freedom in the application. A typical range of up to 35 m is guaranteed.
The heart of the new unit is the robust and reliable PMD 3D sensor patented by ifm. Even interference caused by changing environmental conditions such as sunlight, rain or materials with different reflective characteristics does not influence the repeatability of the measured data. The sensor is highly resistant to vibration and shock and meets IP67 and IP69K protection requirements.
