  • Fast readings:  Up to 250 Hz measurement rate with up to 1 kHz. output rate
  • Up to 1 mm accuracy, 0.10 mm resolution
  • Read on bright, dark, hot, and textured surfaces, including hot metals in steel mills and foundries
  • 500 m range; 100 m with NO reflective target!
  • Extended temp range
  • Direct integration with Allen Bradley, Siemens, and Bechkoff plus many other PLC controllers through Industrial Ethernet protocols
  • Variety of outputs standard:
    • Built in standard:  RS232, RS485/422, SSI encoder, analog, digital I/O
  • Direct integration with Allen Bradley (Rockwell Automation), Siemens, and Bechkoff plus many other PLC controllers through Industrial Ethernet protocols
    • Optional integration via Ethernet IP, Profinet, EtherCat are available to make the sensor integration with Allen Bradley and Siemens controllers simple

Measuring variety of characteristics:

  • Distance
  • Position
