Edge measurement in a new dimension

A new dimension. The PosCon 3D – distance-independent measurement of object edge positions. The innovative Baumer PosCon 3D edge sensor is the most powerful in its class. Such features were previously only offered in complex laser measuring systems. This all goes together with very easy installation and operability. With the PosCon 3D you can measure: positions object width or gap dimensions object center positions edge The PosCon 3D will save you cost from the planning stage all the way through to implementation and system operation. PosCon 3D – Your edge specialist. Powerful. width...

The operating principle. This extremely compact sensor does not require a reflector, processing device or externally installed software. The laser line projected by the PosCon 3D is reflected from the surface and depicted on a 2-dimensional optical receiver using the triangulation principle. The required optical image quality is ensured by the specially developed multilens system. The exact distances to the object surface are measured along the laser line and then calculated by means of smart algorithms and powerful coordinate transformation. The position of an object’s edge, width or gap...

Integrated coordinate transformation Measurement without complex sensor alignment. Innovative touch display Functions are selected on the display and stored. Measuring values are displayed in millimeters. No installation of software on a PC required. qTarget™ qTarget™ design is referencing the sensor light beam to the mounting holes. Convenient, early system integration by the sensor’s CAD data. The Interfaces Connector for all common interfaces. Numerous mounting options. Visible laser line The visible laser line simplifies commissioning and signals sensor activity during operation. The...

Positioning. Example: Solar wafer positioning in the electronics industry. Prior to the metalization process, solar wafer and mask must be carefully aligned to each other. PosCon 3D ensures ultra-precise mask positioning even in tight spots and when mounted at an angle. Determination of sheet metal thickness. Example: PosCon 3D is installed further down below in order not to interfere with the sheet metal separation process. Despite the sub-optimal installation position, PosCon 3D will reliably determine the sheet metal thickness within one tenth of a millimeter and clearly recognize...

Width measurement. Example: Accurate measurement of tapes. The PosCon 3D ensures continuous process monitoring in the production and further processing of plastic tapes. High precision measurement is even ensured in oscillating movements of the tape towards the sensor. Gap Control. Example: Monitoring correct closing of cardboard boxes. The sensor accurately checks the correct closure of cardboard boxes. Even with boxes varying in height, the sensor reliably and precisely monitors the gap between the closure flaps. Reliable. The sensor reliably measures objects with different colors and...

Web edge control. Example: Paper edge position measurement. There are only four steps to get ready: 1. Sensor mount to include the paper edge in the measurement field. 2. Power on. 3. elect required language and mode (e.g. right edge) S on the touch display. 4. Done. The sensor is operational. Object centering. Example: Centering of extruded rubber belt. Both the belt’s target position and runout error can be considered when integrating PosCon 3D into the system using the sensor’s CAD data. No adjustment is necessary. The sensor measurement field is reproducible and precisely aligned....
