The sensor for optical line guidance The OLS is a line guidance sensor based on luminescence technology. It detects conventional luminescent adhesive tape regardless of the background, contamination or surface defects and reliably outputs the deviation from the center of the lane. Lane shifts can be made flexibly with adhesive tape and are also possible in small curve radii of up to 0.5 m. In addition, the OLS offers the option of reading 1D codes and thus transmitting various pieces of route information and drive commands in the event of an overrun. A CANopen, RS-485 or IO-Link interface enable simple installation and commissioning. The OLS is therefore the most cost-effective solution for line guidance with a focus on ruggedness and flexibility. Benefits Rugged and accurate, insensitive to ambient light, contamination or surface defects Independent of base material or color Simple line shifts and route changes by attaching conventional adhesive tape Small curve radii of up to 0.5 m possible Large reading field enables flexible line shifts (branches, junctions) Reading bar codes makes it possible to transmit distance information or drive commands and simplifies vehicle control Cost efficient compared to camera solutions Low installation costs
