More Precision optoNCDT ILR // Laser-optical distance sensors

Laser distance sensors Laser distance sensors Optoelectronic ILR sensors are used for non-contact distance measurements. Their large measuring range enables measurements on critical surfaces such as, e.g., hot metals from a safe distance or to regulate large travel displacements. Wear-free measurements and thus a long service life are possible due to the non-contact measuring principle. Depending on the application, three sensor series are available focusing on different aspects (e.g., accuracy, measurement speed). These sensors are designed for operation with and without reflector and are thus...

■ The measuring principles at a glance The ILR104x and 1171 sensors operate according to the time-of-flight measuring principle. A laser diode in the sensor produces short laser pulses that are projected onto the target. The light reflected from the target is recorded by the sensor element. The time of flight of the light pulse to the target and back determines the measurement distance. The integrated electronics in the sensor calculates the distance based on the time of flight and conditions the signal for analog and digital output. In addition, optoNCDT ILR sensors are less sensitive to ambient...
