Extreme Accuracy

with

Transit Time Measurement

 

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.

The sensor's highly sensitive optics reliably recognizes black objects with a reflectance factor of less than 6%. Unnecessary downtime resulting from contamination, short-circuit at the output or weak signals is avoided with the help of an error output.

Measurement data can be read out as an analog voltage signal (0 to 10 VDC), as well as a digital output.
