AMR Glass Detection with Ultrasonic Sensors
Autonomous mobile robots, AMRs, typically use LiDAR sensors for the detection of objects. This can create challenges when surrounded by transparent materials like glass. Ultrasonic sensors can be used to solve even these most complex tasks.
Navigating Drop-Offs with the R2300 3-D LiDAR Sensor
With its four scan layers, the R2300 3-D LiDAR sensor enables reliable navigation of mobile robots and automated guided vehicles—even in difficult environments with negative obstacles.
AMR Navigation Refined
When paired with 2-D camera technology, like the PGV and safePGV, Pepperl+Fuchs Data Matrix codes offer cutting-edge technology for the factory floor.
Durability Test for Pepperl+Fuchs Connectors
Wherever extreme temperatures, heavy contamination, aggressive substances or mechanical loads prevail, connectors must be sufficiently rugged and resistant. In this blog post, you will learn which tests our connectors for mobile equipment applications have to pass in our in-house test laboratory.
Three Ultrasonic Sensors for Effective Level Measurement
Storage tanks and silos in many different industries require overfill prevention and continuous level measurement to prevent equipment damage and downtime. This means a broad range of materials, such as chemicals, sludge, and gravel, must be reliably detected to maintain optimal process flows. Ultrasonic sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are designed to detect and measure the fill level of liquids and solids, no matter their storage location.
