ABSTRACT

The invention relates to a sensor apparatus for detecting the travel region of
an industrial robot, in particular a crane for moving containers, wherein the
sensor apparatus comprises at least one first environmental sensor and one
second environmental sensor, wherein the first environmental sensor emits
transmission light in a plurality of first layers for an environmental
detection, and wherein the second environmental sensor emits transmission
light in a plurality of second layers for an environmental detection, wherein
the environmental sensors are arranged such that the first layers of the
transmission light of the first environmental sensor coincide with the second
layers of the transmission light of the second environmental sensor in an
overlap region of the fields of view of the environmental sensors, or such
that the first layers of the transmission light of the first environmental
sensor alternate with the second layers of the transmission light of the
second environmental sensor in the overlap region of the fields of view of the
environmental sensors.
