AM-T100 - Millimetre-accurate 3D depth images through Sony DepthSense™ technology
The AM-T100 is a time-of-flight (ToF) camera that uses a Sony DepthSense™ sensor to produce millimetre-precise 3D depth images. The high frame rate of up to 60 fps enables efficient use in industrial manufacturing processes, logistics and robotics. With powerful IR illumination and 640 x 480 pixel image resolution, the AM-T100 achieves a 67° x 51° field of view with a range of up to 6 m*. High-performance algorithms enable pre-filtering of the data so that the camera can be optimally adapted to different ambient conditions. The AM-T100 is a GigE vision camera that makes its image data available to common image processing software via the standardised data interface GenICam. An integrated Software Development Kit (SDK) supports software developers and system integrators in configuring the camera and creating software applications.
SAFETY FIELDBOX PN/EIP/EC
The safety fieldbox allows for simple connection of up to eight safety switchgear devices with Plug and Play. The universal device interfaces for 8-pole M12 connectors allow for connection of a wide range of safety switchgear devices, including electronic and electromechanical solenoid interlocks, sensors, control panels, light curtains and switches. The version for 8-pole connectors enables connection of 2 safety inputs, 2 test pulse outputs, 1 safety output (internal 2-channel), 1 digital input for diagnostic signals as well as the power supply to connected safety switchgear devices. This enables transmission of locking device activation signals on solenoid interlocks, alongside safety signals and diagnostic signals. The signals are transmitted for evaluation to the safety controller via the safety fieldbus interface. This communication is safe against modifications, changes to the telegram sequence, transmission errors, etc. Parallel transmission of safety signals enables free evaluation of safety switchgear devices in the safety controller.
