Mount the DS1000 Series Sensor
Firmly mount the sensor so that the laser is perpendicular to the motion of travel. The
accuracy and reliability of your 3D images relies on the three-dimensional coordinate
system defined by the position of the sensor and the movement of objects that pass
within its view.
Multiple sensors should be mounted coplanar with each other, spaced apart so that
there is sufficient overlap between the laser plans to cover the required distance.
The sensor offers three mounting options:
Recommended: Attach the sensor to the DS1000 series high-accuracy
l
mounting plate. Refer to High-Accuracy Mounting on page 22 for more
information.
Use the mounting bosses on the top of the device. Refer to the DS900
l
Series and DS1000 Series Sensor Reference Guide for more information.
Use the mounting through-body holes on the side of the device. Refer to the
l
DS900 Series and DS1000 Series Sensor Reference Guide for more
information.
High-Accuracy Mounting
The mounting plate (part number DS-MPHA-00) accessory offers the following
advantages when anchoring your sensor to your production environment:
The laser plane will always be parallel to the mounting plate.
l
Removing and replacing a sensor requires fewer steps and allows you to
l
mount a new sensor in exactly the same position as the previous unit.
