Position sensor
May 1st 2008 A laser triangulation sensor
available from Ixthus has a
CANbus interface capable of fast
1 Mbits/s position feedback over a
measurement range 2 to 1000mm.
With linearity to +/-0.1% of range
and resolution to 0.01% of range,
the RF603 from Riftek is suitable for
high precision position feedback.
Aimed at high speed noncontact
measurement of position,
displacement, surface profile and
vibration, the sensor is also
suitable for rapid product sorting
and sensing.
For flexibility it is available in 3
output configurations: the CANbus
interface version supports 1 Mbit/s
data transfer and has an RS232
serial port for parameter
programming; the RF603 serial
port version supports RS232 or
RS485 at 460 kbits/sec; the
analogue version supports 4-20
mA and 0-10V outputs. All include
a synchronisation input and alarm
output for machine control
interfacing and
both CANbus
and RS485
interface
models can be
arranged for
multiple sensor
feedback
through
network
operation. |
