Challenging measurement and control tasks?

High-precision laser distance sensor from ipf electronic

For precise measurement and control tasks such as dancer control, where the so-called material sag is measured by means of the dancer, or for checking the diameter of roll materials, high-precision solutions with good repeatability such as the PT340070 laser sensor from ipf electronic are required.

The new sensor with M8 connector complements ipf electronic's product portfolio of solutions for precise detection and measurement using color-independent laser triangulation. Due to its extremely compact design in a robust plastic miniature housing (protection class IP67), the PT340070 is ideal for robotic applications.

The range of the device from 20mm to 100mm is set either simply via teach-in or via the integrated IO-Link interface. Via IO-Link it is also possible, for example, to select between different teach-in methods, to invert the characteristic curve or to evaluate the signal quality.

In addition to an analog output (1...10V) with a resolution of 0.12mm and linearity of ±0.25mm, the PT340070 has a switching output (push-pull) that can also be used to define a switching window via two switching points.

The sensor also impresses with a high repeatability of
