Laser triangulation sensors for a wide range of applications

The compact optoNCDT 1420LL laser sensors perform precise distance measurements on metallic and structured surfaces. The sensor projects a small laser line onto the measuring object, which compensates for any interference. This ensures stable and reliable measurement values. The sensors are used whenever standard laser point sensors reach their limit.

The optoNCDT 1420LL laser sensors work with a small laser line rather than a laser point. This enables them to measure accurately even on rough, diffuse and shiny metallic surfaces. Their laser line ensures optical averaging and compensates for irregular surfaces. They achieve reliable, highly precise measurement values on rough surfaces, as well as defects, recesses and holes. The optoNCDT 1420 LL models are available with measuring ranges of 10, 25 and 50 mm.

The standard model has a glass cover pane to protect the receiver unit. In addition, the optoNCDT 1420 series sensors can also be equipped with a protective film to prevent external influences from causing damage to the cover glass and thus unwanted reflections. The film avoids scratches and streaks, which increases signal stability.

The IC2001/USB single-channel converter cable is available as an additional accessory. It establishes a USB connection to the sensors via RS422. The advantage is a cost-effective connection solution for permanent installation. The unshielded cable allows a maximum data rate of 1 MBaud.

For demanding measurement tasks, the IF2001/USB interface module is available which also supports the RS422/USB signal conversion.
