2 Deflector mirror
• If the 2D LiDAR sensors cannot be mounted at the prescribed minimum height, the
measurement points can be captured by a deflector mirror mounted parallel to the
2D LiDAR sensors.
• The resulting extension of the light path means that you can save space when
mounting the 2D LiDAR sensor on the conveying equipment.
• The deflection via the mirror is free of loss thanks to its special surface metallization,
as this rules out light refraction.
• The upper figure shows a visualization example of the arrangement of the 2D LiDAR
sensors and the deflector mirror over the transport belt.
• The remaining system setup and operating principle of the VMS4200/5200 satisfy the
requirements for the relevant type approval certificate.
NOTE! These supplementary operating instructions describe system variant without
deflector mirror.
