Visible laser light allows easy alignment with the target object.
The light spot diameter is only 6mm for the maximum range.
A four-digit alphanumeric LED display indicates the exact distance to the object or background.
The user can set the PNP semiconductor output to normally closed or normally open.
The heart of the sensor is the PMD chip.
This is an innovative on-chip time-of-flight measurement system.
The transmitter and receiver are integrated on one chip.
This allows compact housing dimensions of just 42 x 45 x 52mm.
The PMD technology was awarded the Hermes Award 2005 international technology prize. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
