Mounting and Connection

system connection

Please prepare the bracket, M4 nuts, and open-end wrench. If the bracket is too thick, please prepare M4 bolts with the appropriate length.

Mount the Laser Profiler

Before mounting, please check the following precautions:

  • The shape of the target object may produce blind spots in the measurement range. Please evaluate the effect of blind spots on scanning before mounting the laser profiler. The laser light of this product is emitted almost in parallel, and therefore blind spots are rarely present.

    blind spot
  • Make sure that the laser light reflected by the target object is not blocked and can reach the receiver unit.

    mounting reflection
  • Stray light is produced if the laser light is reflected by surrounding objects such as walls. Please evaluate the effect of stray light on scanning before mounting the laser profiler.

    stray light
  • To ensure that the heat from the product is well dissipated, please mount it onto a metal bracket, and make sure that the area of the bracket’s surface in contact with air is at least 3 times that of the product’s side surface.

    For more details on heat-dissipation measures, refer to Heat-Dissipation Measures for Laser Profiler.

Side Mounting

As shown below, place the washers and then the M4 × 65 bolts in the holes, and then use an open-end wrench to tighten the nuts.

mount profiler 2

Top Mounting

As shown below, place four M4 × 10 bolts in the holes, use the 3 mm hex key to loosely screw on the bolts in the specified order, and then fully tighten all the bolts in the specified order.

  • Please fasten the cables properly to avoid damaging the cables or connectors due to strain.

  • Please connect the IPC and laser profiler directly to ensure the speed and stability of data transmission.

  • Please use shielded Ethernet cable of the CAT5e or above specification.

Connect Laser Profiler and DIN Rail Power Supply

Insert the connector end of the DC power & IO cable into the Power I/O interface on the laser profiler and connect the other end to the DIN rail power supply.

connect profiler and power

When inserting the connector of the DC power & I/O cable into the laser profiler, align the notch in the connector with the bump in the interface, and then tighten the nut.

connect profiler and power 2
  • Please fasten the cables properly to avoid damaging the cables or connectors due to strain.

  • The instructions below apply to the DIN rail power supply provided by Mech-Mind. If you use your own DIN rail power supply, please refer to its user manual for connection instructions.

  • Please prepare the AC power cable for the DIN-rail power supply. Please use a single-phase, 3-prong power outlet with protective grounding for the AC power.

When wiring the DIN rail power supply, wires of the power cable must be inserted to the corresponding input/output terminals, as shown below.

din rail connection
  1. Use the flat screwdriver to loosen the screws on the terminals of the DIN rail power supply.

  2. Connect the DC power & IO cable: Insert the wire with the +V label into one of the +V terminals, the wire with the -V label into one of the -V terminals, and the wire with the PE label into the ground terminal (pe mark).

  3. Connect the AC power cable: Insert the live wire into the L input terminal on the DIN rail power supply, the neutral wire into the N input terminal, and the ground wire into the ground terminal (pe mark).

  4. Use the flat screwdriver to tighten the screws on the terminals.

  • The voltage input to the laser profiler from the DIN rail power supply should reach 24 V.

  • Please mount the DIN rail power supply inside a control cabinet.

  • The DIN rail power supply or the DIN rail should be reliably grounded. If mounting multiple DIN rail power supplies on the same DIN rail, ensure enough distance in between.

  • The stripped part of the PE wire should be as short as possible.

  • Supply power after all cables are fully connected. After power is supplied, the POWER indicator light on the laser profiler will first display yellow, indicating that the device is starting up, and then turn solid green. If it does not turn solid green, please contact Mech-Mind.
