Measuring principleLaser triangulation Laser triangulation sensors operate with a laser diode that projects a visible light spot onto the surface of the target. The light reflected from the spot is imaged by an optical receiving system onto a position-sensitive element. If the light spot changes its position, this change is imaged on the receiving element and evaluated. The optoNCDT sensors use different technologies, which show their advantages in certain applications. Triangulation sensors with a red laser are designed for diffusely reflecting measuring objects such as ceramics, plastics or...

Blue laser sensorsfor challenging surfaces The optoNCDT Blue Laser (BL) models use a blue-violet laser beam which does not penetrate the measuring object due to its shorter wavelength. The light spot is projected sharply to enable stable and precise measurement results. The Blue Laser Technology is preferably used with red-hot glowing metals as well as organic and transparent objects. Some measurement tasks require a large measuring range or a large distance from the object to be measured. Long-range sensors from Micro-Epsilon combine large measuring ranges and large offset distances. They enable...
