One of a kind: compact laser sensor with 500mm measuring range

2017-04-10

The optoNCDT 1420 laser sensors offer a unique combination of speed, size, performance and application flexibility. Their high measurement accuracy and measuring rate enable dynamic displacement, distance and position measurements up to 4kHz. In this product range, Micro-Epsilon is now launching the world’s smallest laser sensor with a 500mm measuring range whose fields of application are wide-ranging.

The compact optoNCDT 1420 is used in sorting tasks, warehouse logistics, warehouse automation and robotics but also in the electronics production, wood processing, medical engineering, laser engraving equipment and machine building.

The optoNCDT 1420 laser triangulation sensors measure displacement, distance and position on a non-contact, wear-free basis. The small all-rounders provide high precision measurements along with a compact design, offering high performance across a wide variety of applications. Their innovative design and functionality was recognized with the Red Dot Award Industrial Design 2016.

Furthermore, the laser sensors stand out due to their excellent price/performance ratio, an innovative web interface and their ease of use. The measurement task can be selected using the quality slider and can be further optimized using the video signal display, signal peak selection and individually adjustable signal averaging. The ROI function (region of interest) allows e.g. for interfering signals in the background to be filtered out. The multifunction button enables quick sensor commissioning for easy measurement tasks.
