Laser distance sensors

The Laser Sensor series has been developed as a compact unit for a wide variety of applications.

Independent of the materials shape, surface and colour, the sensor measures distances with high precision using the triangulation principle. The units have a laser diode which produces a light spot on the measured object. The object reflects the scattered light which is detected by an optical system within the sensor. If the distance from the measured object to the sensor varies, the position of the reflected light on the sensor shifts. Each position of the image on the sensor corresponds to a particular distance between the measured object and the sensor. Evaluation of the image on the sensor and the necessary linearisation is carried out by a microprocessor.

Applications include distance control, thickness measurements, displacement measuring, profile checking, checking control tasks in the production process, detection of fractures and cracks, out-of-balance measurement, checking of presence even of minute parts, positional control and detection of overlapping.
