Dimetix DLS/FLS Series

The Dimetix DLS and FLS series long range laser distance sensors have been the workhorses in industry for over 10 years. Laser-View Technologies has been placing these in some of the most challenging environments since 2007 and the results have been stellar.

We encourage customers interested in this family of laser sensors to consider using our newest D series laser in new applications, as they provide superior measurement robustness and a host of interface options.

The following models are available:

*DLS and FLS models are EOL as of July 2019.

Performance and Functionality

These series of laser sensors are machined from a solid block of aluminum and have been functioning daily in many environments:

Steel mills
Bridge structural monitoring outdoors
Oilfield
ASRS (automatic storage and retrieval systems) in warehouses
Bin level
Overhead Cranes

We’ve developed the know how in these applications to provide you with expert guidance and offer the right accessories. Like the rest of the Dimetix family, the DLS / FLS series is good for measuring variety of characteristics:

Distance
Position
Size (width, diameter)
Level

Unique characteristics:

Up to 500 meter range
Up to 1 mm accuracy, 0.10 mm resolution
Read on bright, dark, and textured surfaces
Variety of outputs standard:
- Built in standard: RS232, RS422, SSI encoder, analog, digital I/O
Solid machined aluminum construction
