text: Pepperl+Fuchs introduces R2300 multi-layer scanner for 3-D object detection - BBG Architecture Life
  December 20, 2019 – At the 2019 SPS trade fair in Nuremberg, Pepperl+Fuchs, the manufacturer of industrial sensors and sensor systems, will be presenting the R2300 multi-layer scanner. The sensor for 3-D object detection contains LiDAR laser measurement technology, which analyzes a total of four scan planes and can detect and measure the length, width, and height of objects. A number of design features in the sensor ensure detection reliability and availability in demanding applications.
  The possible applications of the R2300—including fields such as intralogistics, mobile equipment, and robotics—meant that the multi-layer scanner required a rugged design. For this reason, the sensor housing is constructed from durable plastic material and the electronics in the sensor head are fixed components, providing effective protection against vibrations. The Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) in the R2300 ensures a degree of independence from object and surface properties, and also a level of resistance to interference from extraneous light, HF lamps, and optical reflections from the application environment. Another unique selling point of the R2300 in the multi-layer scanner market is the mechanical separation of the emitter and receiver within the optical unit. The separating element in the sensor head prevents optical short circuits that can occur if the front panel is dirty and part of the emitted light is directly reflected back onto the receiver element. This ensures that the R2300 always provides correct measurement results and a level of detection reliability in practice
