High resolution for small part measurement

June 2013 Sensors & Transducers

The Leuze LPS 36 light section sensor now offers resolution up to 0,1 mm making them ideally suited for the measurement of small parts.

Capable of operating in applications with height intervals from 200 to 600 mm, the Leuze LPS 36 HI/EN line profile sensor is a cost effective and reliable mechanism for the detection of parts that are smaller than 3 mm. For example, on a line 140 mm in length this high performance sensor can quickly and precisely ascertain the dimensions of small parts in a short measurement time of 10 ms with a measurement rate of 100 Hz at a resolution of 0,1 to 0,9 mm.

The transmission of the measurement data as well as the configuration of the sensor is done via Ethernet further enhancing the flexibility of application. An additional connection for standard incremental encoders supports the creation of calibrated 3D data. This makes these sensors excellent devices for creating solutions for robot controls in pick and place applications as well as for positioning tasks in packaging and assembly areas.

Elaborate sensor solutions, sensor combinations or additional evaluation units are no longer necessary as the Leuze LPS 36 HI/EN light section sensors open up fields of applications due to the high resolution and operating performance parameters. Previously this level of resolution was reserved only for camera systems.

The sensors are compact in construction with the transmitter and receiver housed in an easy to install unit. The robust construction of the sensors allows reliable sensing under harsh operating conditions.
