2.1 Use and Application
The SmartRunner laser-line triangulation sensor creates a high-precision 2-D height profile of
an object at near range. For this purpose, a laser line is projected onto an object and is
detected by a camera at a specific angle. Height and width information are determined using
the triangulation principle.

SmartRunner Detector
The detector monitors a defined area. To do so, the laser projects a high-precision light grid
onto the previously configured area. Objects < 1 mm can be detected by the high resolution.
ven small projections can be detected precisely.
Example application:
High-precision monitoring of a work area.
Figure 2.5
In order to accurately consider the boundary conditions and local circumstances of an
application, the laser-line triangulation sensor must be taught-in for each individual application.
The evaluation of an environment can be either continual (independent) or initiated by a trigger
signal.

Product Specifications
Parameterization and Operating Modes
The laser-line triangulation sensor can be configured or parameterized via 3 different methods.
■ Reading in code cards via the sensor camera
■ Processing configuration telegrams via the bus interface
■ Using the Vision Configurator software
The sensor has different operating modes, which can be activated for configuration,
presentation, or normal operation.
■ Normal mode: measurement mode, sensor works as configured
■ Configuration mode: mode for configuring the sensor via data telegrams and via the
Vision Configurator configuration program
■ Code card mode: mode for configuring the sensor via Data Matrix control codes without
the assistance of a PC
■ Presentation mode: mode for presentation or testing without the assistance of a PC
