ROCKWELL Automation has released three laser distance measurement sensors, with sensing and measuring ranges from 30 mm to 6 m.
The 45BRD sensor has a sensing range of 45 mm to 85 mm and requires no user adjustment.
The 45BRD sensor includes 0 V to 10 V DC analogue output that is scaled linearly over the entire sensing range.
The 45BPD sensor offers two selectable sensing ranges of 30 mm to 100 mm and 80 mm to 300 mm.
During set-up, ‘teach-in' buttons located conveniently on top of the sensor establish the set-points within these ranges.
The laser can be disabled during operation, while a lock-out mechanism prevents tampering with the set-points.
The 45BPD features a discrete PNP output and also a 4 mA to 20 mA analogue output, which is automatically scaled between the set-points.
An averaging algorithm permits reliable detection of rough surfaces.
Both the BRD and BPD sensors employ a visible red class two laser that simplifies alignment in small part detection and measurement applications.
Featuring both class one and two lasers, the 45CPD sensor is ideal for longer distance measurements from 0.2 m to 6 m.
It uses a class one eye-safe infra-red laser during operation and a visible red class two laser for alignment during set-up.
Like the 45BPD, it incorporates 'teach-in' buttons for easy set-up.
It also features two discrete PNP outputs and a 4 mA to 20mA analogue output.
With each enclosed in a self-contained IP67 housing, the laser measuring sensors are ideal for a wide variety of industrial sensing applications.
These include distance measurement, part profiling, thickness measurement, error proofing, inspection, verifying material position, hole-depth, warpage and part positioning.
The long-distance 45CPD is also suitable for stack-level.
