Lasers Make Precision Industrial Measurements

The Laser Twin Sensor (LTS) is a proprietary sensor that uses optical triangulation principles. It’s designed for tight spots and demanding industrial applications and resolves surface thickness variations as fine as 0.007 µm when averaged at 100 Hz. The sensor is capable of measurement rates up to 500 kHz in actual industrial settings. The non-contact system includes a small spot size of 30 µm in diameter and a large observation angle of 43° at standoff. It can optimize contour tracking with sharp increases in object height and can measure frosted and furbished surfaces. Dimensions of sensors are 120 x 95 x 40 mm with a weight of 750 g.
