The LASE 1000D sensor can measure with its TOF technology (Time of flight technology) at distances of up to 800m on reflectors and up to 110 m on natural surfaces.

The sensor transmits extremely short multiple light pulses, measures the running time of these pulses to the object and back and also computes the distance. The measuring data will be send serially over a RS 232/RS 422 interface as well as a programmable analog 4-20 mA output. Further two switching outputs are on board which can be configured in logic and band width. As a third interface PROFIBUS DP is also available.
The LASE 1000D is equipped with a microprocessor control, by what the application ranging is evaluated. High accuracies can be measured by controllable averaging that accommodates high-dynamic movements. Specific distances can be defined as threshold values. With the large measuring range the sensor can be used in many different industries and for a huge variety of tasks:

• Positioning of vehicles; intelligent light barrier
• Positioning of cranes; collision avoidance; profile measurement for commodities
• Measurement of slabs and coils in the steel industry
