240 m laser distance measurement in extreme temperatures

The laser distance measurement systems from TR-Electronic have proven themselves in many applications in warehouses and logistics. Precise, absolute position detection without any wearing toothed belts ensures high availability and short throughput times in many high-bay warehouses and transfer lines, but also in gantry crane and electroplating plants

Optoelectronic 
sensors  in  the  optoNCDT ILR  series  operate 
according  to  the  Time-of-Flight principle and are designed
for non-contact distance and displacement measurements. The 118x Series
functions according to the phase comparison principle. In doing so, modulated
laser light is permanently transmitted to the object. The receiver compares the
phase offset of the transmitted signal with the received signal, enabling the
distance to be precisely calculated. All remaining models in the optoNCDT ILR series operate according to the
Time-of-Flight principle. Here, a laser pulse is transmitted and the time it
takes for the reflected pulse to arrive back at the sensor is precisely
measured. The distance can be measured based on the speed of light and the
measured time period. Depending on the application and the required measuring
range, the sensors operate on diffuse reflecting surfaces or on a special
reflector plate.
