The PBS-03JN obstacle detection sensor is specifically used for scanning the traveling path of AMHS (Automated Material Handling Systems) such as AGCs, AGVs, RGVs and overhead transports as a means of protecting equipment from impact. This LED-based scanner offers a compact size, 180º scanning field and simple interfacing via an RS-232 connection to a PC for programming the detection area outputs.

The BWF Series optical data transmission devices enable data to be transmitted quickly and reliably between an aligned pair of units over long distances. Typical uses are on overhead and stacker cranes, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and transfer cars for non-contact bi-directional communication from the vehicle to the control unit. The use of modulated light as the transfer method means that these transceivers do not incur physical wear like trailing cables and slip rings nor do they require recalibration like radio systems.

3D Scanning Range Finder. The distance is measured by steering the laser beam vertically and horizontally.

This scanner uses pulsed laser beam with TOF principle to measure distance.  A laser beam is emitted in a wide 3D field providing access to hight, width and depth information of objects.

In 1 frame, a point cloud with 2590 points is generated. It is possible to increase the point cloud density using the interlacing mode.

This scanner is equipped with an acceleration sensor and a PPS input signal.
 

The CWF/EWF Series are small, lightweight, economical type optical data transmission devices that enable data to be transmitted quickly and reliably between an aligned pair of units over mid- range distances. Typical uses are on overhead and stacker cranes, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and transfer cars for non-contact bi-directional communication from the vehicle to the control unit. The use of modulated light as the transfer method means that these transceivers do not incur physical wear like trailing cables and slip rings nor do they require recalibration like radio systems.

The Hokuyo MBX series is a non-contact hot metal detector (HMD) that uses microwave transmission for detecting hot steel. This system integrates a control unit, stainless waveguide and remotely mounted antenna stand. For the most severe applications where dust, smoke, vapors, high temperatures, induced noise or intense ambient light are present, this non-invasive sensing system is ideal for reliable detection of hot material in a continuous casting line, pipe or rolling mill.

The Hokuyo PX-DX/WX series is an economical through-beam type hot metal detector (HMD) that is used where lower ambient temperature areas are present within the steel manufacturing process. This model consists of a separate emitter and receiver equipped in compact self-contained housings. With accurate long-range transmission, this through-beam sensor operates effectively in mill environments by detecting passing material on a process line that interrupts the modulated light beam.

The Hokuyo LAV series is a laser-based optical fiber type hot metal detector (HMD) that contains a separately housed emitter and receiver, heat-resistant fiber cables and heavy-duty sensor heads. Equipped with high-powered laser diodes, this device operates effectively in high-temperature harsh production areas where dust, steam and vapors are present. With accurate long-range transmission, this through-beam system operates effectively in mill environments by detecting passing material on a process line that interrupts the infrared laser beam.

The PRV-10 series Hot Metal Detector (HMD) is an electronic controller that includes the infrared detection cell, amplifier and electronic outputs in an aluminum die-cast housing. To accommodate variation in product temperature and background radiation, three levels of infrared thresholds are selectable with an internal switch and sensitivity adjustment knob. Combined with flexible stainless steel fiber cables and interchangeable sensor heads, this radiant-heat detection system can be standardized throughout the mill.
