Laser Displacement Sensor 

features & benefits

 

A Laser Displacement Sensor is ideal for non-contact precision distance measurement and thickness measurement, and surface profiling.  It is common to integrate a laser displacement sensor into in-process thickness measurement applications, distance monitoring applications, or profiling equipment.  Many of our customers place the Laser Sensors on the factory floor under typical production conditions, so their ruggedness is proven.  We have also filled applications in which our long range laser distance sensor has been used in the building trade to monitor movement and position of building structures from a distance.

Interfaces:

Our Laser displacement sensors include combinations of serial and/or analog output interfaces and can all be programmed from a PC via special software or simple programs, such as HyperTerminal.  A Laser Displacement Sensor can also be coupled with a digital display or any of our PC data acquisition software applications for in-process measurement.  Also provided on every laser displacement sensor is a set of digital alarm outputs.

Performance:

We can provide a laser displacement sensor with measuring  ranges from  2 mm and a resolution of 0.03 µm  to 100 meters and a resolution of 0.10 mm.  

Our series 100 through series 3000 laser displacement sensors are all digital.  This means that they all use digital signal processor (DSP) technology and utilize either CCD or CMOS imaging chips.  This provides superior performance overall to the traditional PSD (position sensing device) type sensors that once dominated the market.  

The PMS 400 long range laser distance sensor is a phase shift type device.  It can measure up to 30 meters without a reflector plate on the target and up to 100 meters with reflective tape affixed to the target.

Software applications:

We have developed a number of PC Windows based software packages that interface with various sensors to provide more utility and create a measurement system.   Below is a partial list of applications for which we have software packages available:

We often customize packages for special needs.

Integrated systems:

We can provide you with specialized turnkey integrated solutions with laser micrometers, laser displacement sensors, and machine vision.  We will customize any of our PC based process software packages for your application. Laser-View Technologies has built bench thickness measurement systems and larger multi-point plate thickness measurement systems with special fixturing and multi-axis sensor movement.
