General Description
The MLS Laser Triangulation Meter (LTM) is a compact unit with
integrated optics and signal processor for precise measurement of
distance or product thickness and width. A focused laser spot is
illuminated on the object and the image distance determined by internal
CCD array. LED’s indicate when the object is at the center or is outside
of the measuring range. Installation software is provided for connection
to a PC and to display measured values. Measurement of data is via RS232
and analog outputs.
The MLS models operate at a measuring and serial output update
frequencies of 1,000 measurements per second. All MLS models have
programming/select functionality. The main feature is Group Mode. In
Group Mode a running average is calculated over a user specified number
of measuring points. The user also programs the meter to disregard a
number of, usually all (if there are any zero measurement results),
before calculating the average value. The average values are calculated
at full measuring frequency and are used for converting the analog
signals.
Two identical MLS LTM’s when connected together automatically provide
change in thickness, width or difference values. The MLS Standard models
operate at a 1kHz measuring & update frequency and have a serial
interface baud rate of 38400. Optional -S2 models operate at a 2kHz
measuring frequency and at a 1kHz or 2kHz update frequency, and have a
serial interface baud rate of 38400 or 115200. Optional -S5 models
operate at a 5kHz measuring frequency, and at a 1kHz, 2½kHz or 5 kHz
update frequency and have a serial interface baud rate of 38400, 115200
or 230400. The baud rate of 230400 requires option -R4 RS422/RS485
serial Interface.
The MLS laser triangulation meters have a broad range of usage for
measurement off surfaces where other devices fail. Ideal for measuring
off wood, plastic, glass, rubber, paper, foam, textiles, food product,
cold, hot or molten metals as well as various liquids. |
