The laser can be networked with as many as 150 different sensors by connecting to Solartron’s Orbit 3 digital measurement system.
Applications include high-volume gauging for quality control of metal and plastic products that may be damaged by contact measurement instruments.
The sensor’s auto-gain circuitry adjusts power based on feedback from the material, providing better readings on difficult surfaces. It can switch between diffuse and specular modes to measure reflective and non-reflective materials.
A bridging function can be programmed to account for drop-offs in materials with gaps or holes.
Multiple outputs are available, including USB, Ethernet, TCP, RS232 and Modbus.
