Revoluntionary Miniature Distance Sensor Delivers High-Resolution at High Speeds



Matchbook-Sized, Self-Contained Unit Designed for Limited Space Automated and Robotic Assembly

Southington, Conn. - March 24, 2003.... Baumer Electric has introduced an ultra-miniature programmable analog laser distance sensor that delivers highly accurate, non-contact measurements in extremely small operating environments. Measuring just 12x37x34 mm, this self-contained, matchbook sized sensor requires no external control units, signal conditioners, or other electronics, and can be mounted directly on dynamic components.

Offering 2µm resolution and 250-900 µs measuring cycles, the OADM 12 sensor provides consistent, precise, and accurate measurement independent of color and surface texture. The sensor is ideal for part profiling, thickness measurement, height and roll diameter dimensioning, robotic positioning, and quality control monitoring in a range of industries including automotive, food service, semiconductor/electronics assembly, and machine tool.

With sensing distances from 15 to 120 mm, the OADM 12 may also be used for longer-range measurement. The single button onboard teach function allows users to program in their desired measuring window. Also, the slope of the analog signal can be inverted, allowing sensor customization for specific applications. Factory settings optimally focus and align the laser beam on each OADM 12, delivering consistent performance and eliminating readjustment in multiple sensor applications.

The OADM 12 features an IP-67 sealed, rugged die cast housing, industrial glass optics, and an extended life laser LED, which, combined, allow this robust device to thrive in industrial production environments.

All Baumer Electric analog laser distance sensors measure based on the highly accurate triangulation principal, and output measurement values either through an analog or a digital interface. Laser distance sensors incorporate microprocessor technology to further optimize the 4-20mA analog output.
