The Optical Line Tracker HG G-73830 is one component of an optical guidance system for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) which guides along a line of optical contrast (dark/light). The Optical Line Tracker evaluates the position of the optical contrast line within the picture supplied by the camera and outputs its position relative to the center of the picture. It is also possible to use the Optical Line Tracker in applications with branchings off the main course.
The video multiplex unit included in the Optical Line Tracker allows to connect up to two standard black/white video cameras with composite video signal. This enables guiding the vehicle into two different directions of travel.
Advantages
connectivity for up to two video cameras
display of the location of the track via a LED bar or external video monitor
