The new family of laser sensors has been especially developed for very precise positioning tasks. Even very small targets like threads or connecting wires of electronic components are accurately detectable and easily countable due to a well collimated laser beam.

Advantages of a laser sensor:

  • Red laser light: Sensor can be visually aimed at small objects due to visible red light source.
  • Small beam spot: the spot size (diameter of laser light spot)is <= 0.1mm at the specified focal distance from the sensor
  • Fast response time: Small, fast moving objects are reliably detected due to short response time.
  • Dull and shiny surfaces: Sensors work ideal on dull and frosted surfaces.
  • Adjustable sensing distance: Accurately set by means of an adjusting screw.
  • Enclosure: Compact, robust metal or plastic housing.

Title

Max. Sensing Distance (m)

Summary
Diffuse Lasers up to 0.3 Emitter and Receiver in same housing. The light is reflected by the object being detected back to the sensor
Retro-reflective Lasers up to 5 Emitter and Receiver in the same housing. Sensing technique in which the emitted light is returned by a retroreflector.
Through Beam Laser up to 10 Sensing technique in which the emitter and receiver are mounted in seperate housings.
