Product catalog summary
Safety Precautions: Ensure the correct supply voltage and interfaces are used. Power off the probe during cable connection/disconnection. Avoid using near strong light sources and allow a 20-minute warm-up for stable results.
CE Compliance: Probes comply with EU directives 2014/30/EU for electromagnetic compatibility and 2011/65/EU for RoHS category 9.
Laser Safety: Probes use a semiconductor laser with a maximum output of 1 mW, classified as laser safety class 2. Avoid directing the laser at humans, disassembling the sensor, or staring into the beam.
General Information: Designed for non-contact measurement of geometric parameters of holes, with customizable configurations available.
Structure and Operating Principle: The probe's laser sensor operates on optical triangulation, using a semiconductor laser, forming optics, receiving lens, CMOS array, and controller. It measures distance based on the light spot's position on the CMOS array.
Measuring Principle: The probe measures hole geometry by rotating within the hole and using a triangulation laser sensor to measure distances synchronously with rotation angles, allowing for 3D modeling of the inner surface.
Configurations and Dimensions: Two configurations, RF609 and RF609Rt, are available. RF609Rt includes a slip ring for connection to a rotating sensor. Models vary in measuring ranges, with detailed dimensions provided.
Basic Technical Data: The RF609 and RF609Rt models have different body diameters, controlled diameter ranges, and working ranges. Specific technical data includes base distance and linearity of the laser sensor.
Specifications: Key specifications include a maximum measurement frequency of 9400 Hz, use of red and blue/UV semiconductor lasers, and a laser safety class of 2. The probes offer digital output interfaces (RS485 and RS232) and an analog output option for the RF609Rt model. Environmental resistance features include an IP67 enclosure rating, vibration resistance of 20 g, and shock resistance of 30 g. Operating temperatures range from -10°C to +60°C, with storage temperatures from -20°C to +70°C.
Ordering Information: Provides a detailed example of item designation for ordering, including options for laser type, controlled diameter range, probe length, serial interface type, analog output, and cable length.
Dimensions and Mounting: Figures illustrate the overall and mounting dimensions of the probes. The housing is made of anodized aluminum, and the cable is mounted without a connector. Specific dimensions are provided for different models, with customization options available upon request.
Connection and Configuration: Details on cable wire assignments for both RF609 and RF609Rt models are provided. Configuration parameters such as time limit for integration, sampling mode, sampling period, and methods of results averaging are discussed. The document emphasizes the importance of these parameters in achieving accurate measurements.
Data Transmission: Describes the RS232 and RS485 interfaces, including data transmission formats and modes of data transfer. It explains the communication protocol, session types, and configuration parameters for data transfer rates and network addresses. The RIFTEK protocol in binary format is detailed, including request and answer formats, data streaming, and output rate calculations.
Specifications: Parameters and configurations for the RF609 and RF609Rt series laser probes include:
  • Sensor ON/OFF: Controlled by parameter code 00h, where 1 turns the laser ON and 0 turns it OFF.
  • Analog Output: Controlled by parameter code 01h, where 1 turns the analog output ON and 0 turns it OFF.
  • Control Byte: Parameter code 02h manages averaging, sampling, and analog output modes using a control byte with specific bit configurations.
  • Network Address: Parameter code 03h allows setting network addresses from 1 to 127.
  • Data Transfer Rate: Parameter code 04h specifies the rate in increments of 2400 baud.
Procedures: Provides examples of communication sessions for device identification, reading parameters, and writing sampling regimes. Includes detailed byte-by-byte descriptions of requests and responses between master and slave devices.
Standards and Protocols: Describes the Modbus RTU protocol and ASCII format for data exchange. Includes input and holding registers for reading and writing operations, detailing the control of various modes and settings.
Recommendations: For analog outputs, it is recommended to use an RC filter to reduce noise. Advises on the configuration of network addresses and saving parameter changes to FLASH memory to retain settings after power cycles.
Analog Outputs: Explains the operation of current (4-20 mA) and voltage (0-10 V) outputs, including configuration parameters for range and mode. Highlights the 'Window in the operating range' function for scaling the analog output signal.
Parameterization Program: The RF60Х-SP software is used for testing, setting parameters, and gathering data from the sensor. Installation involves running setup.exe and following the wizard instructions. Connection to the sensor can be established via RS232/RS485 by selecting the appropriate COM port, baud rate, and network address. If connection fails, an automatic search can be initiated.
Checking Sensor Operability: Once connected, place an object within the sensor's range and use the Request button to obtain measurement results. Switch to data stream mode using the Stream button and observe changes as the object moves.
Connection Interfaces: ASCII and Modbus RTU protocols are supported for sending commands and reading/writing registers.
Data Display and Management: Measurement results can be displayed digitally and as oscillograms, with options for scaling and grid display. Data can be saved in internal or Excel formats and imported for review.
Setting and Saving Sensor Parameters: Parameters can be set via interface configuration panels and saved to nonvolatile memory. Parameters can be saved to a file for easy replication across multiple sensors. Default parameters can be restored if needed.
RFDevice SDK: The SDK library allows for custom software development with documentation and examples provided.

Laser Probes. RF609, RF609Rt Series Measuring principle The measuring principle is illustrated in Figure 2. The laser probe is inserted into the controlled hole. The probe or the part is driven in rotation. A triangulation laser sensor, which is built into the probe, measures the distance to the hole surface synchronously with the angle of rotation. The resulting set of polar coordinates is used to calculate the geometric parameters of the hole. Moving the probe along the hole allows you to get the geometric parameters of the hole in different sections and build a 3D model of the inner surface....

Laser Probes. RF609, RF609Rt Series NOTE 2. Increasing this parameter expands the possibility of control of lowreflecting (diffuse component) surfaces; at the same time this leads to reduction of measurement frequency and increases the effects of exterior light (background) on the measurement accuracy. Factory setting of the limiting time of integration is 3200 s. NOTE 3. Decreasing this parameter makes it possible to increase the measurement frequency, but can decrease the measurement accuracy. Sampling mode This parameter specifies one of the two result sampling options in the case where the...

Laser Probes. RF609, RF609Rt Series RIFTEK protocol (binary format) 'Request' is a two-byte message, which fully controls a communication session and can be transmitted by the 'master'. The ‘request’ message is the only one of all messages in a session where the most significant bit is set at 0, therefore, it serves to synchronize the beginning of the session. In addition, it contains the device address (ADR), code of request (COD) and, optionally, the message [MSG]. Request format ('master'): lower tetrad of the 0th byte higher tetrad of the 0th byte lower tetrad of the 1st byte higher tetrad...
