OPTIMESS 1D

The OPTIMESS 1D laser distance sensors enable highly accurate and dynamic measurement of distance, thickness and displacement. Even the most difficult conditions are no problem for them. Whether in icy cold or with great vibrations, the OPTIMESS sensors feel right at home in harsh environments. Whether reflective rails or jet-black tyres, OPTIMESS 1D master challenging surfaces with ease. Our sensor range offers the optimum measurement range for every application – extending to a distance of over 2 metres.

OPTIMESS MLC

Characteristics

  • Measurement ranges from 4 mm to 2000 mm
  • Resolution up to 0.5 µm
  • Linearity up to 0.02%
  • Measurement frequency up to 100 kHz
  • Waterproof (IP67)
  • Wide temperature range from -20°C to 60°C
  • High vibration and shock resistance
  • Insensitive to sunlight
  • Measurement possible also on hot objects

Connection

The sensor is connected via a robust Fischer® connector (OPTIMESS MC M8 connector), which complies with the IP67 standard even when unplugged. The power supply and the inputs and outputs, either analogue or digital, are connected to the sensor via this. Analogue voltage and current outputs or CAN bus are available as standard. Other interfaces are also possible on request.

Applications

Railway

  • Measurement of rail waviness
  • Measurement of roughness
  • Crash test
  • Wheel profile
  • Wheel roundness

Road surveying

  • 3D Cross profile
  • Longitudinal waviness
  • Surface roughness, texture

Industry

  • Thickness measurement
  • Contour recognition
  • Vibration measurement
  • Robotics
  • Gear wheel measurement
  • Machinery and vehicle construction

Options

 

Various optional components are available. Protective housing with, for example:

  • Pneumatic slider for protection when not in use
  • Heating for very low temperatures
  • Air or water cooling in a hot environment
  • Blow-out function to keep the windows clean

But also connection boxes with power supply and DIN rail mounting for easy wiring in the control cabinet.

In addition, special solutions are also feasible even for small quantities. Customer-specific measurement ranges or housing shapes can be well made by arrangement.

An IMU can also be integrated to compensate for sensor movements.
