Optoncdt 1710/1910/2310

The optoNCDT BL models are equipped with a blue laser diode and are used when standard sensors with a red laser diode are operating at their performance limits. Due to its shorter wavelength, the blue laser does not penetrate the target surface, projecting a small light spot on the surface and therefore providing stable and precise results. As Blue Laser sensors are equipped with a special filter, they are insensitive to highly emitting objects such as glowing metals. Blue Laser sensors are preferably used with measurements on organic and (semi-)transparent objects, as well as for red-hot glowing metals.

Often, special requirements cannot be standardized. For this reason, we configure our sensors to your individual requirements. Modifications of the offset distance or measuring range, cable and connector variants and modifications to the housing and optical system are often required.

The optoNCDT LL laser sensors produce an oval-shaped light spot of just a few millimeters in width which reminds of a short "laser line" (LL). This oval light spot compensates for inhomogeneous surface structures and the so-called "speckling" effect which particularly occurs with metallic surfaces. Combined with special software algorithms, interferences caused by surface roughness, defects, indentations or holes are filtered out. This enables stable and precise measurement results.

The IF2001/USB interface module converts the digital RS422 signals of a laser optical sensor into a USB data packet. For this purpose, the sensor is connected to the RS422 interface of the module. The converter loops through further signals and features such as laser on/off, switch signals and function output. The connected sensors and the converter can be programmed through software.
