Banner Engineering ZMX 3D Time of Flight Sensor

Banner Engineering ZMX 3D Time of Flight (ToF) Sensor is designed to measure and monitor peak fill height and volume within a large field of view. This sensor uses laser and digital imaging technology to detect objects in a wide, three-dimensional field of view. The ZMX sensor features LED indicators, 272 x 208 pixels resolution, 60° x 45° field of view, 12VDC to 30VDC, and 200mm to 2500mm sensing range. This ToF sensor provides an easy setup- integration, reliability, all-in-one design, self-contained, and monitors an entire sensing region of interest. Because the sensor can detect items of any size, shape, or orientation, it is an ideal tool for automated industrial applications in which materials, products, or packages accumulate within a defined area.

The Banner Engineering ZMX 3D Time of Flight Sensor is perfect for recognizing the maximum heights of objects, regardless of where the highest point might be within that sensing area. It is also helpful for calculating fill volume. This is a great way to ensure that containers are filled consistently, prevent overfill, track fill rates, and fine-tune processing speeds.

The ZMX 3D ToF sensor is ideal for material handling facilities, shipping containers, and level monitoring of consumer or grocery items in a tote.
