In the logistics industry, stacker cranes are indispensable equipment in automated warehousing systems, used for efficient and accurate storage and retrieval of goods. In the complex environment of logistics and warehousing, traditional sensors often struggle to meet the detection requirements of long-distance, high-precision, and background interference shielding.

The Akusense TOF Optoelectronic ELT-M series provides strong support for the automation process of logistics warehousing with its long-distance precise detection capability and powerful background suppression function.

In this issue, Xiao Ming will share with you the application of TOF photoelectric sensors on stacker cranes

In the operating area of the stacker crane, it is responsible for storing and retrieving goods, including car wiring harnesses, at different positions on the shelves.

In this case, the stacker crane needs to detect the presence of car wiring harnesses located on the far and near shelves, and requires sensors to be able to shield background interference at the far end to ensure accurate detection of goods and smooth subsequent operations such as handling, storage, or sorting.

1. There are two types of goods located far and near, with the longest distance being 2 meters. The sensor needs to detect the presence of goods at both the far and near ends

2. The usage scenario is a stacker crane. If there is a misjudgment, it will cause the goods to fall from a high place, so zero misjudgment is required

3. Remote guardrails need to be shielded

1. High precision detection: Using the time-of-flight (TOF) principle, the distance of an object is determined by emitting pulsed laser and measuring the reflection time, with high precision and long-distance detection capabilities.

2. Background suppression function: The Meiji ELT-M2 series integrates background suppression function, which can effectively reduce or eliminate the interference of reflected light from non target objects, ensuring accurate detection of target objects. By setting a threshold, the remote background can be blocked without interference, and the detection effect is more stable

3. Multi mode detection: supports multiple detection modes, such as single point mode, window mode, etc., and can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

4. One click teaching settings: easy to install and debug, users can easily set detection distance and parameters through the teaching button.

5. 1ms response speed: can easily handle scenarios where stacker cranes move rapidly
