The Dimetix EDS-C30 laser distance sensor is our entry level offering. With a smaller footprint, less cost, and a robust 30 meters of measurement range on natural surfaces, the EDS is a good fit for many applications requiring more basic sensing.
*EDS models are EOL as of July 2020.
We have been successful at using the EDS laser for applications that need the distance and reliability of measurement, but not necessary the accuracy of the other Dimetix laser sensors. Lower cost sensors on the market lack the EDS laser’s repeatability and the ability to reliably read on a variety of surfaces. Most sensors rate accuracy based on measured distance and target reflectivity. We do not!
