Hello, Could someone please recommend a TOF sensor(or other) for reliable plastic sheet detection.
Application: Measure the width of a sheet or film of plastic in production environment. We would use two sensors to detect the edges of the film. We would move the sensors in/out on a carriage mechanism until the edge is detected. Continuous measurement, plastic film would be passing by the sensor(s).
Sensors to be mounted between 5 and 20mm from target, plastic film.
Sensors must be able to detect all types of plastic, from clear or transparent (eg. Cling film) to black (bin liners) IR light source?
Sensors must detect presence or absence of plastic film so that edge can be known. Carriage movement then gives width.
Want to measure width of film with precision of 1mm or better.
I have looked at VL53L4CD for example. Would this work? Also looked at the demo video with the 53L0x, but distance range most likely tooo long. Can you recommend a different or better TOF sensor for this application please?
Michael.
