Laser Measurement
Laser diode sensors combine the alignment advantages of a visible sensing beam with the increased sensing range of a laser. They operate on dc or ac/dc (universal voltage). Class 1 and Class 2 devices are available. Adjustable-field background suppression models sense small parts of varying colors while ignoring the background.
Applications include the following:
- Detecting small transitions in a position control application
- Verifying the proper die in a stamping application
- Sensing small parts in a conveyance application
- Detecting tiny features in an inspection application
- Error proofing in a packaging application
