Laser distance sensor
Laser Distance Sensor is a device that measures the distance between the sensor and an object using a laser beam. These sensors offer fast, accurate, non-contact measurements, making them ideal for applications where high accuracy and speed in detection are required.
An example is laser sensors. Dimetix, like the model DPE-10-500, not only stand out for their robustness and precision, but also for their easy integration in existing industrial systems, reducing implementation times and optimizing resources. In addition, its contactless technology minimizes wear, maximizing the useful life of the device.
Laser distance sensors work on one of the following principles:
- Time-of-Flight (ToF)
- The sensor emits a laser pulse towards the object and measures the time it takes to reflect back to the sensor.
- Parallax or laser triangulation
- Used to measure shorter distances. A laser emitter projects a point onto the object, and an optical sensor detects the angle of the reflected beam. This angle is used to calculate the distance using geometry.
- Laser interferometry
- It is used for extremely precise measurements based on the interference of light waves reflected from the object.
