All-in-one measurement station

The LSC 200 is a complete system for applications in intralogistics and packaging systems in which sensors and evaluation unit are optimally matched to one another.

Leuze electronic: Depending on the application, sensors can be used for object measurement as well as for object detection. The software preinstalled on the evaluation unit performs the data acquisition as well as preprocessing and, depending on the task, the extraction of user data. The user data is made available to the user via defined interfaces (e.g., Profibus, TCP/IP).

The measurement station is much more than a complete system. Due to its flexible adaptability, it can serve as a solution platform for certain tasks, whereby – depending on the task – sensors with a wide range of performance are connected and evaluated. Thus, the LSC 200 can also be expanded with sensors that perform identification tasks, e.g., with bar code readers. Dimensions can be measured with, e.g., three light curtains (length, width, height) using the optical throughbeam method. Should the constellation require it, the width and height measurement can also be measured using scanning light section sensors or laser scanners. The length measurement can optionally be performed using an incremental transmitter.

Depending on the sensor that is used and the properties of the objects that are to be measured, various filters can be set in the evaluation software for optimizing the measurement values. The adaptation of parameters, e.g., the offset adjustment when using light curtains, can be performed by means of a GUI. LSC 200 stations with only light curtains of the CML 700i series contain an integrated web visualization system. With this, the measurement values can be displayed and adjustment values set via a standard Internet browser directly from the control.
