Long distance lasers
29 March 2016
Sensors UK has introduced a range of long distance lasers which, it says, boast excellent reliability through 100% testing of the manufacturing process.
The range of DIMETIX lasers offer measurements from 0-30m to a 500m range with repeatability to only ±0.3mm. All have a rugged metal enclosure rated to IP65 for use in the harshest environments.
A wide a choice of output options is available, such as a programmable 4-20mA or RS232C output and SSI. There are even three digital outputs, two of which can be programmed as relay alarms.
Long distance laser sensors are suitable for both dynamic and static applications. They can be used to measure distance, level and position, and to detect motion. Pairs of sensors can be mounted to measure thickness, length and diameter. Cost-effective, the sensors are easy to set up and install.
