Laser Triangulation up to a Distance of 2 m

Micro-Epsilon has launched a new laser sensor: the optoNCDT 1710-1000. The sensor has a measuring range that starts from a distance of one metre from the sensor, so displacement can be measured at a distance of 2 m from the sensor. The sensor comes with an integrated controller in compact 200 x 83 x 48 mm housing. The diameter of the light spot is constant across the complete beam path. With a measuring rate of 2.5 kHz, the sensor provides 100 µm resolution without averaging. 4 ... 20 mA, 0 ... 10 V, RS422 or USB outputs are available. more15.12.2009
