Introduction

Laser sensors by Micro-Epsilon can be used to measure distances to objects and their related parameters (displacements, distance and position). Distance laser sensors are designed for non-contact distance measurements.  In addition to traditional manufacturing industry applications, laser sensors are increasingly used in robotics, surveillance, autonomous driving and biomedical areas.

Variety of models to overcome any challenge

Micro-Epsilon laser sensors not only measure matt surfaces but also metallic and shiny targets. In addition to conventional laser models, LaserLine models (LL) with an oval-shaped laser point are also available. These sensors filter out physically induced interference and therefore significantly simplify measurements on shiny surfaces. More than 85 laser sensors with measuring ranges from 2 – 1000mm cover a large number of applications across many different industries. Equipped with intelligent interfaces and cables that are qualified for use with drag chains and robots, these laser sensors can be applied in almost any measurement task in industrial automation.

Operating principle and applications for laser triangulation sensors Triangulation means the measurement of distance by calculating the angle. In measurement technology a Sensor projects a laser spot onto the Measurement object. The reflected light falls incident onto a receiving element at a certain angle depending on the distance. The distance to the Measurement object or Target is calculated in the Sensor by the position of the light spot on the Receiver element and from the distance of the transmitter to the receiving element.
