Comeback of high-precision solutions

ipf introduces the PT49-series of diffuse-reflection laser sensors

For years, the PT49-series of diffuse-reflection laser sensors was a constant in ipf's product range. In spring 2022, however, the devices had to be discontinued due to the unexpected setting of the production of important electronic components. ipf has now completely redeveloped the solutions.

With a view to the future supply of spare parts, ipf attached great importance to ensuring that both the external dimensions of the robust metal housing and the scratch-resistant glass front screen remain unchanged.

The directly parameterizable or externally teachable sensors can be set as usual in a sensing range of 50 to 550mm. Like its predecessor (PT490370), the PT499370 has a precise light spot with a diameter of 1.5mm. The PT499375, as the successor to the PT490375, projects a laser line with an approximate continuous height of a maximum of 1.04mm.

As a new function, the current laser triangulation probes from ipf now offer the option of dynamic teaching, which proves to be an extremely useful aid, especially for fast movement sequences.

The new PT49-series with background suppression or almost surface-independent object detection from ipf is ideal for high-precision inquiries even under harsh environmental conditions. The PT499375 with line optics is ideal for detecting objects with rough or structured surfaces, for example. Even with objects with a high degree of reflection, the solutions master the associated challenges for the sensor technology. This is why all devices have laser protection class 2 again.
