ifm efector O3M151 3D sensors for mobile machines

Driver assistance and automated working processes increase both machine efficiency and safety when operating mobile machines. The O3M151 sensor from ifm efector features three-dimensional detection of the machine environment and automated evaluation of scenes and objects to enhance safety.

Similar to the comfort and safety functions in modern motor vehicles, such as distance sensors, rear-view cameras and emergency brake assist, the sensor offers automatic object recognition. This makes it possible to record more than 1000 distance values synchronously and to detect and follow up to 20 objects. This function can, for example, be used as a collision warning. Functions such as minimum, maximum and average distance, with free segmentation of the field of view in three dimensions, offer many degrees of freedom in the application. A typical range of up to 35 m is ensured.

The heart of the unit is the PMD 3D sensor. Interference caused by changing environmental conditions, such as sunlight, rain or materials with different reflective characteristics, does not influence the repeatability of the measured data. The unit also offers high vibration and shock resistance and protection ratings of IP67 and IP69K.
