The Long Range Laser Twin Sensor has long-range measurement capabilities and a long standoff distance. It tracks object displacements or running profiles at speeds of up to 200 kHz. The long-range capability of the sensor allows users more maneuverability for fast moving, long-range measurements.

Other features of the unit are its laser spot size of 70 micrometers in diameter, observation angle of 25 degrees, and standoff of 1.18 in. The sensor also has the ability to automatically compensate for differences in the object's color and surface, the ability to track the smallest pits, surface textures, and sharp increases in object height; and the capability to measure both on frosted and furbished surfaces.
