OMRON non-contact sensors for innovative solutions

Advantages of the product
- 3D distance detection – The sensor uses LED technology to measure the distance of fixed or moving objects and can generate a 3D map of the room
- Light immunity – Direct light up to 100,000 lx does not affect sensor performance
- High accuracy – The sensor can output data up to 20fps
- Long life expectancy – Up to 5 years lifespan in continuous operation
The ToF sensor was originally developed as a low-cost replacement for expensive LiDAR sensors, typically used for robot navigation in Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) systems. Low power consumption B5L technology offers all the capabilities of an expensive LiDAR sensor in a smaller, easier to use package. Recent developments have shown that the sensor is used successfully in the patient monitoring industry. The ToF sensor enables efficient monitoring of people without identifying the people detected. Currently, Omron engineers are developing additional software to track the skeletal positions of people detected by this sensor.
Advantages of the product
- Several existing form factors – The B5W family covers analog, digital, short and long range sensors in standard or ultra-compact housing formats
