The OLS is a line guidance sensor based on luminescence technology. It detects conventional luminescent adhesive tape regardless of the background, contamination or surface defects and reliably outputs the deviation from the center of the line.
Line shifts can be made flexibly with adhesive tape and are also possible in small curve radii of up to 0.5 m. In addition, the OLS offers the option of reading 1D codes during the overrun and thereby transmitting distance information or drive commands.
A CANopen and an Ethernet interface as well as the integrated web server enable simple installation and commissioning. The OLS is therefore the most cost-effective solution for line guidance with a focus on ruggedness and flexibility.
