Scan plane
4.3.1
Parallelism of the scan plane
The scan plane of both laser scanners must be parallel to the boom (X = control
positions).
Fig. 13: Parallelism of the scan plane from the side
Larger deviations in terms of parallelism result in unintended shutdowns or detection
failures (X = control points).
Fig. 14: Incorrect scan plane from the side
Checking that the scan plane is correct
The scan plane can be correctly aligned using the scan finder, which you can order as
a SICK accessory.

Alternatively, you can place suitable objects at two control points and check the scan
plane in the live monitor of the SOPAS configuration software.
Deviations can be corrected by swiveling the laser scanner.
