TOF Long-range Laser Distance Sensor DS Series: Measure Farther, Perceive Sharper!

In material handling operations, multiple cranes are often required to work in coordination. Without an effective protection and warning system, cranes running on the same track could collide. To address this, we use Time-of-Flight (TOF) technology, installing DS-80 medium-range laser measurement sensors on both sides of each crane. These sensors can accurately detect nearby cranes and fixed obstacles (such as walls) within a maximum range of 80 meters. Each crane is also equipped with a reflector to ensure proper sensor function. It is worth mentioning that these sensors can operate stably even in high-temperature environments up to +55°C, ensuring safety and efficiency during the material handling process.

For Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes, it is crucial to maintain a safe distance between cranes during operation to prevent collisions. To address this, we have implemented the DS-200 long-range laser sensor. This sensor precisely measures the distance between cranes, effectively preventing collision accidents. The installation process is simple and quick, and the DS-200 provides real-time monitoring. If the distance between cranes reaches a preset limit or the speed exceeds the safe range, the sensor immediately sends a signal to the higher-level control system. Additionally, the DS-200 is equipped with a configurable Ethernet 100BASE-TX/SS1 interface, providing real-time data related to distance and speed, ensuring the safe operation of the cranes.

The DS-200 non-contact laser distance sensor can accurately measure the position of stacker and reclaimer machines within a 200-meter range, both indoors and outdoors, ensuring precise equipment scheduling and operation.
