Wenglor's new laser sensor is
making headlines: Highest possible accuracy is
achieved by measuring the time required for light
to travel from the sensor to the target and back
again. This method is very accurate over large
distances. It is much more accurate than the
traditional analysis of the quantity of light
reflected back to the sensor, or angle measurements
used for sensors with background suppression.
Because the speed of light remains constant,
extremely precise measurement results can be
obtained - independent of direction of movement,
angle, color, texture and brightness of the object.
Also, the so-called edge effect (measurement error
caused by lateral movement of the object into the
light beam) does not influence our new
sensor.
