No loss of performance for scaled-down sensor
The series 12 laser distance sensor from Baumer Electric sets a new standard for the size of optical measuring laser sensors.
Utilising proven triangulation techniques and fast microprocessor technology, the highly linear measured value is made available through an industry standard 4-20mA interface.
Six measuring ranges and two speeds of response are available, covering from 30 to 500mm and 1 to 10ms response time.
The sensor also incorporates a digital alarm output, LED status indications and an industrial standard M12 connector.
The laser sensor is suitable for most surfaces, regardless of colour, and will compensate the laser output to overcome lens soiling.
Two types of laser are available, the point type for accurate spot measurement, and the strip type for rough and uneven targets.
The sensors are suitable for a wide range of industrial projects, need no external control units, and are housed in a compact IP67 industrial housing of only 50x65x20mm.
Applications can be found in the automation, inspection, process and handling industries.
