Laser Triangulation Sensors. RF600 Series Time limit for integration Intensity of the reflected radiation depends on the surface characteristic of objects under control. Therefore, output power of the laser and the time of integration of radiation incident onto the CMOS-array are automatically adjusted to achieve maximum measurement accuracy. Parameter "time limit for integration" specifies maximum allowable time of integration. If the radiation intensity received by the sensor is so small that no reasonable result is obtained within the time of integration equal to the limiting value, the sensor...

Laser Triangulation Sensors. RF600 Series Note 3. It should be taken into account that the sensors differ in some variation in the parameters of the internal generator, which affects the accuracy of the Time Sampling period. This parameter sets a zero point of absolute system of coordinates in any point within the limits of a working range. You can set this point by corresponding command or by connecting AL input to the ground line (this input must beforehand be set to mode 4). When the sensor is fabricated, the base distance is set with a certain uncertainty, and, if necessary, it is possible...
