Abstract
An optical module (10) having at least one beam-forming element (14) and having at least two retainer brackets (20) for fastening the optical module (10) to a carrier (30) are provided. In this connection the retainer brackets (20) have a first support element (22a) at a first spacing with respect to the lens (14) and a second support element (22b) at a second spacing different from the first spacing with respect to the beam-forming element (14) in order to selectively fasten the optical module (10) to the carrier (30) at the first spacing or at the second spacing.
Claims15
An optical module comprising at least one beam-forming element and at least two retainer brackets for fastening the optical module to a carrier, wherein each retainer bracket has a first support surface and a second support surface, the first support surface being parallel to and vertically displaced from the second support surface in order to selectively fasten the optical module at the first support surface or at the second support surface at the carrier.
An arrangement of a carrier and an optical module comprising at least one beam-forming element and at least two retainer brackets, wherein each retainer bracket has a first support surface and a second support surface, the first support surface being parallel to and vertically displaced from the second support surface in order to selectively fasten the optical module at the first support surface or at the second support surface at the carrier, the carrier having at least one support section at which the first support surface of the retainer bracket is supported or having at least one support section at which the second support surface of the retainer bracket is supported.
A light barrier or a light grid having at least one arrangement of a carrier and an optical module comprising at least one beam-forming element and at least two retainer brackets, wherein each retainer bracket has a first support surface and a second support surface, the first support surface being parallel to and vertically displaced from the second support surface in order to selectively fasten the optical module at the first support surface or at the second support surface at the carrier, the carrier having at least one support section at which the first support surface of the retainer bracket is supported or having at least one support section at which the second support surface of the retainer bracket is supported.
A method for the manufacture of an optoelectronic sensor in which at least two retainer brackets of an optical module having at least one beam-forming element are bent apart, a carrier is inserted;
- and a load is removed again from the holding brackets or the holding brackets are compressed in order to fasten the optical module to the carrier,
- wherein,
- selectively, a first support surface of the optical module is brought into engagement with support sections of the carrier at a first support surface or a second support surface is brought into engagement into engagement with support sections of the carrier at the second support surface, with the first support surface being parallel to and vertically displaced from the second support surface, such that at the same time the first support surface or the second spacing is set between the beam forming element and the carrier on fastening of the optical module to the carrier.
An optical module comprising at least one beam-forming element and at least two retainer brackets for fastening the optical module to a carrier, wherein each retainer bracket has a first support surface and a second support surface, the first support surface being parallel to and vertically displaced from the second support surface to form a defined space between the first support surface and the second support surface in order to selectively fasten the optical module at the first support surface or at the second support surface at the carrier.
