Today’s future,tomorrow’s reality. Taking sensors to a new dimension.
 
 

 
With the efector pmd 3d ifm electronic is entering the next dimension of optoelectronics. efector pmd 3d is the first industrial 3D sensor that can detect objects in three dimensions at a glance.
The award-winning PMD technology enables the evaluation of geometrical characteristics such as volume, distance, level or surface area.
  • Volume
    Irrespective of the distance between sensor and object, the volume is determined from a top view.
    Application: Control of the filling status of outer packaging on the basis of volume.
  • Distance
    By means of the 3D sensor, the measurement of distances to uneven surfaces is no longer a problem – a clever alternative to ultrasonic measurement!
    Application: Filling status of shelves.
  • Level
    Levels can be determined on the basis of a defined background and search zone.
    Application: Level measurement of bulk material such as grains or granulates in silos.

Use of the innovative PMD technology.
efector pmd 3d is based on the technology of time of flight measurement. Particularity: The measurement and the evaluation of the time of flight are integrated on one chip. The dimensions of the extraordinarily compact sensor housing are just 60 x 42 x 35 mm.

The resolution of the sensor is 64 x 48 pixels. Each pixel of this matrix evaluates its distance to the object. This results in 3072 distance values at the same time. The image of the object on the matrix and the respective distance values correspond to a 3D image. The geometrical characteristics of the object result from these values.
