Laser Sensor LAV

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The LAV series laser displacement sensors offer measurement ranges from 0.2 to 50 meters. They feature an integrated micro-controller that provides accurate distance measurements without the need for external analyzers. The sensors are designed to operate reliably regardless of surface color or texture, and they have a small visible laser spot for easy alignment.

Measurement Principle
The sensors use a powerful light source to emit short, high-energy pulses. These pulses are reflected by the target object and captured by a receiver. The time taken for the light to travel to the object and back is used to calculate the distance. The teach-in function allows users to set the desired measurement range within the maximum range.

Technical Data
The LAV series includes models with measurement ranges of 0.2 to 8 meters and 0.2 to 50 meters. Key specifications include a linearity of ±25 mm, repeatability of less than 5 mm, and a response time of 10 ms. The sensors have an analog output of 4...20 mA, an IO-Link interface, and a protection class up to IP67. They operate in temperatures from -30 to 50 °C.

Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation requires a clear light path to the target. For reflective surfaces, the sensor should be slightly tilted to avoid direct reflections. The sensor should be grounded, and a shielded cable is recommended. Cleaning should be done with a soft brush or cloth, avoiding window cleaners.

Electrical Connection
The sensors use a 5-pin M12 connector. Pin assignments include power supply, analog output, and IO-Link data line. The switching output can be configured for light or dark conditions.

Order Code and Accessories
Order codes specify the measurement range. Accessories include cables with M12 connectors, reflective tape for the LAV-50-420-IO model, and digital displays for sensors with analog output.

General Safety Instructions
Users should avoid staring into the laser beam and ensure the beam is not directed at anyone's eyes. It is recommended to stop the beam with a matte object or shield. Power to the sensor should be switched off when the system is turned off.

INTRODUCTION Laser sensors of the LAV series cover measurement ranges from 0.2 to 50 m. The integrated micro-controller delivers an accurate output signal, which is proportional to the detected distance. External analysers to evaluate the signals are not required. Reliable operation, independent of colour or other influences of the surface, is ensured by sophisticated electronic elements integrated in the system. The small visible laser spot allows a simple and precise orientation of the sensor. MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE A powerful light source emits short, high-energy pulses, which are reflected...
