Description
The 45BRD analog output sensor is a Class 2 visible red laser
sensor that provides exceptional resolution at an economical cost.
This sensor utilizes the triangulation principle for precise
measurement and has a small beam spot for small part detection
and measurement. The sensor is completely self-contained in an IP
67 enclosure and does not require any external control devices
which add cost and require additional mounting space.
The 45BRD can be easily set up by mounting the sensor such that
the target is within the operating range of the sensor. There are no
additional adjustments for the sensor and the 0…10V output is
scaled linearly over the range of the sensor (45…85mm).
The 45BRD is an excellent solution for precision noncontact
measurement applications including: distance measurement, part
profiling, thickness measurement, hole depth, warpage, and
positioning.
