Measuring with a laser sensor
Measuring with a laser sensor Baumer Electric has recently designed a new laser sensor family utilising proven triangulation techniques and fast microprocessor technology.
By doing away with the impulse disc and the associated optical transmitter and receiver, the encoder is capable of withstanding 30g vibration (6ms) and 100g shock (10-2000Hz).
In comparison, optical encoders typically achieve 10g vibration and 50g shock.
Another advantage is the use of the classical 58mm-diameter encoder case with 12mm hollow shaft and clamping ring.
As a result, the encoder can be installed very compactly and economically.
Impulse counts of 64 to 2048 are standard, with higher resolutions possible on request.
The maximum output frequency is above 400kHz, allowing high speeds up to 8000rev/min.
The operating temperature range is -20 to +85C (with -40C available as an option).
