compact sensor for precise distance measurement up to 650 mm

With the ODSL 9 series, Leuze electronic has extended its family of optical distance sensors and set new benchmarks for range, precision, compact design and comfortable operation.

The sensors are characterized by a large measurement range from 50 to 650 mm – with high accuracy at the same time. They offer resolutions starting at 0.1 mm at a repeatability of 0.5 % from the anticipated value. The measurement rate of 500 Hz (in speed mode of up to 700 Hz) makes the new ODSL 9 distance sensors the ideal solution for moving applications. This speed can also be used to filter measurement values as well as for static preprocessing, e.g. regarding the average value, median or extreme value filters. The devices operate largely independent of object characteristics, meaning they are insensitive to gloss, structures and bright ambient light.
