C5-2040CS18-38-2X Overview
Introduction
The C5-2040CS18-38-2X sensor is a revolutionary product of an intelligent high speed laser
triangulation sensor of the C5-CS family. It is optimised for 3D profile measurement by
means of laser triangulation technique. The 3D profile extraction is performed in the sensor
by using high performance Field Programmable Gate Array processors. At the same time
the 3D profile data is sent to the PC over a Gigabit Ethernet interface (GigE). This extreme
data reduction boosts the measuring speed to unprecedented levels without affecting
the performance of the connected image processing unit.

Warranty Conditions
Only the manufacturer can recognize the conditions of warranty. Should other parties
than the manufacturer be responsible for the malfunctioning, we consider the right of
warranty as void. This is the case if the unit is modified electrically or mechanically,
particularly in its wiring/soldering, or if the unit is used for purposes not intended by the
manufacturer, or if the unit's external wiring is faulty, or if the unit is used under conditions
outside those stated in its manual.
Warranty Period
The sensors warranty for the C5-CS series is 1-year starting from the date of purchase from
AT –Automation Technology GmbH.
Extended Warranty
The warranty period can be extend to maximum 36 months.
Return Policy
Before returning a sensor for repair (warranty or non-warranty) to AT –Automation
Technology GmbH a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number have provided by AT.
Please get in contact with AT to receive a RMA.
Ship the sensor carefully packed in its original shipping box or an equivalent box back to
