2 - Non-contact and wear-free - Large stand off - Tiny measuring spot for small targets - High speed measurement - High precision - Almost all targets can be measured optoNCDT Laser triangulation sensors Measurement principle: Laser triangulation Laser triangulation sensors operate with a laser diode which projects a visible light spot onto the surface of the measurement target. The light reflected from the spot is imaged by an optical receiving system onto a positionsensitive element. If the light spot changes its position, this change is imaged on the receiving element and evaluated. With the 1607 Series an analogue PSD module is used as the position-sensitive measuring element, whereas with the remaining sensors CMOS elements and CCD elements are used. Leadership in laser displacement measurement Micro-Epsilon has a long-standing success of developing laser displacement sensors. Already a pioneer in the field of CCD sensors, Micro-Epsilon has continually raised the bar in industrial laser displacement measurement. The current optoNCDT range now offers five series, each of which is amongst the best in its class. The optoNCDT product group represents the highest precision in laser-based optical displacement and position measurement. Laser-based optical displacement sensors measure from a large distance to the target using a very small spot which enables measurements on the very small parts. The large measurement distance in turn enables measurements to be taken against difficult target surfaces such as hot metals. The non-contact principle enables wear-free measurements as the sensors are not subject to any physical contact with the target. Furthermore, the laser triangulation principle is ideal for very fast measurements with high accuracy and resolution. optoNCDT sensors uses a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 670nm (visible/red). The maximum optical output power is 1mW. The sensor is classified as laser class II. A warning sign is attached to the sensor housing.
