A series of intelligent distance sensors has two discrete outputs that not only detect the presence of objects but also indicate their precise position and size. The BOD 26K LB model employs laser triangulation as its basic sensing technology and incorporates a microprocessor to provide additional embedded functions. These functions are easily accessed directly on the sensor by either built-in pushbuttons or remotely via a teaching unit. The units are available with extended sensing ranges of 30-100 mm and 80-300 mm. Applications include dimension checking, contour sensing, fill height sensing, machine tool status verification, surface inspection, and position measurement.
