LDM 41/42 A Laser Distance Measurement Sensor Angewandte Sensortechnik Theory of Operation The LDM 41/42 A Laser Distance Measurement Sensor is designed for mobile and stationary distance measurement in a industrial environment. The LDM 41/42 A works based on comparative phase measurement. To achieve this, it emits visible laser beams in different frequencies. The target being measured returns diffusely reflected light that is subsequently compared with a reference signal. Finally, a microprocessor uses the recorded phase shift to calculate a required distance with mm accuracy. The sensor LDM 41 A distinguishes itself through a high precision as well as a big independence of the surface of the measured object. The LDM 42 A is design for fast measurement on a white target. The red, well visible laser beam allows a simple alignment.
