The storage and removal of loads using industrial trucks requires the precise detection of storage spaces and pallet, especially at great heights. For an automated manned forklift truck to correctly pick up and transport a pallet, for example, it must precisely detect the pallet pockets. The Pallet Pocket Detection SensorApp provides the data required to do this. It runs directly on the Visionary-T AP 3D vision sensor from SICK. The measured values required to pick up the pallet are pre-processed and evaluated on the sensor, then transmitted to the control of the automated manned forklift truck. The Pallet Pocket Detection SensorApp is based on SICK AppSpace and can be loaded on the sensor as a complete, application-specific Key App.
