LP100 Description
This Laser Distance Meter Sensor operates via Time of
Flight (TOF) Class II visible red laser and incorporates four digit
display and programming keypad removing the need for external PC
programming. This Laser Distance Meter Sensor incorporates a photonic
mixer device (PMD) whereby the Sensor elements and receiver electronics
are all integrated on a single silicone chip resulting in an
exceptionally low cost Laser Distance Meter Sensor.
Whereas traditional Time of Flight Sensors operate by electronics
external to the photo-diode, the introduction of this smart pixel
receiver element results in an exceptionally low cost Laser Sensor. The
LP100 Laser Distance Meter Sensor incorporates dual programmable digital
outputs as well as programmable analogue output.
Two Distance Meters are available; one Laser Sensor for operating off
natural surfaces up to 10 meters range and another for operating off a
prism reflector at 75 meters range. Repeatability of detection is +-8mm
to +- 40mm according to range and accuracy of detection between +- 15mm
and +- 50mm depending on range and update rate. Sampling rate frequency
is adjustable between 1-50 Hz This low cost Laser Distance Meter Sensor
is the ideal replacement for photocells and other detection devices due
to it being a low cost Laser. Also, it is well suited for collision
avoidance on cranes. For ease of adjustment an optional dual axis
mounting platform is provided with dual axis adjustment.
A unique feature of this Laser Sensor is that it can be programmed to
provide an alarm only when product within range and to ignore out of
range target. A further unique feature is that as the Laser beam spot
size is only 6mm, this Laser Distance Meter Sensor will accurately
detect small objects such as bottle tops or even nuts on metal panels as
incorporates background suppression. Via the incorporated display and
keypad, the operator can program both the digital switching outputs in
logic, range and hysteresis function. Furthermore, the zero offset and
the span of the 4-20mA analogue output (0-10 VDC available), are both
user programmable via the built in keypad. In addition, the user can
define the zero point independent of the analogue output offset.
The LP100 Laser Distance Meter Sensor is available for both 24 VDC
connection as well as 110/240 VAC connection. Where connected to 24 VDC
supply, programmable dual transistor outputs are provided and where
connected to 110/240 VAC programmable dual relay outputs are supplied.
This Laser Distance Sensor incorporates a built in air purge and hence
is an ideal device for measuring level on silos, detection of product on
production line or control of crane positioning as well as collision
avoidance. This is an exceptionally low cost Laser Distance Meter
Sensor.
