Depending on the application, sensors can be used for object measurement as well as for objection detection. The Leuze LSC 200 is a complete system, or all-in-one measurement station, and is suited to applications in logistics and packaging operations.
Pre-installed software on the evaluation unit performs data acquisition as well as pre-processing and, depending on the task, the extraction of user data. The user data is made available via defined interfaces, such as Profibus, TCP/IP.
This type of measurement station is much more than simply a complete system. Due to its flexible adaptability, it can serve as a solution platform for certain tasks, whereby, again task dependent, sensors with a wide range of performance capabilities are connected and evaluated.
Essentially this means that the Leuze LSC 200 can also be expanded with sensors that perform identification tasks, such as bar code readers. Dimensions can be measured with, for example, three light curtains (length, width, height) using the optical through-beam method. And if necessary, the width and height measurement can also be measured using scanning light section sensors or laser scanners.
Depending on the sensors used and the properties of the objects that are to be measured, various filters can also be set in the evaluation software for optimising the measurement values.
The adaptation of parameters, such as the offset adjustment when using light curtains, can be performed by means of a GUI. Leuze LSC 200 stations with Leuze CML 700i Series light curtains contain an integrated web visualisation system, adding even greater capability to this sensing solution. With this, the measurement values can be displayed and adjustment values set remotely via a standard Internet browser.
