Non-contact speed and length measurement

TTS Systems says the new sensor is designed to replace cumbersome, high-wear contact wheel encoders prone to measurement errors due to slippage, vibration, wear and dirt, resulting in product give-away and quality issues.

The non-contact laser technology is said to provide an industry leading accuracy of ±0.05% without need to ever re-calibrate due to wear. Internal measurement rate is 200kHz, with one measurement output every 20 microseconds.

Communication is via Ethernet, RS-232, Wifi or bus options. Installation accessories include anti-vibration mounts and display units, as well as temperature and dust control.
