Micro-Epsilon optoNCDT 1320 laser triangulation sensor

The optoNCDT 1320 laser triangulation sensor, manufactured by Micro-Epsilon, offers maximum precision in minimal space. Due to its low weight and compact size, the device can be integrated into restricted installation spaces and is suitable for dynamic applications.

Based on the triangulation measuring principle, the sensors measure displacement, distance and position on a non-contact basis. The controller for the laser triangulation sensors is integrated in the housing, which simplifies the installation.

The measuring rate of the sensors can be adjusted to up to 2 kHz. The Auto Target Compensation (ATC) feature enables precise control of the distance signal, regardless of target colour or brightness. Small objects can be detected due to the small and sharply projected measurement spot size.

The small laser spot size, which is focused through an optical system to a small diameter, enables the measurement of fine details. The predefined presets and the quality slider enable easy sensor configuration and parameter set-up.

The sensors are suitable for high-volume applications in machine integration and factory automation. As well as in electronics production, they are also applied in the packaging industry, wood processing, logistics, medical engineering, laser-engraving equipment and quality assurance. Further examples are pick-and-place machines, inline bodywork and tool positioning, inner diameter of pipes and the measurement of plastics parts.
